The Philadelphia Phillies didn’t hide the fireworks from fans at Citizens Bank Field as the team earned a 10-2 win in Game 3 of the NLDS against the Atlanta Braves.
One of the game’s defining moments was Nick Castellanos’ second homer of the evening that basically added insult to injury for the struggling Braves.
After the big hit, Castellanos’ son Liam had the most wonderful reaction in the stands to his dad’s MLB Playoffs heroics.
You could see the absolute excitement in his face as his dad earned yet another run, making this another memorable moment for the Phillies in yet another promising postseason outing.
Back-to-back homers by Nick Castellanos and Brandon Marsh!

Hey, even if you’re the world’s biggest Braves fan, you have to love seeing such a pure reaction from a player’s kid. Liam Castellanos had himself quite a night at Citizens Bank Park, as did his dad.
We’ll see if the good vibes continue for the Castellanos family as the Phillies take on the Braves in Game 4 of the NLDS on Thursday.
