ATLANTA — After stroking a single to left field for his third hit in as many at-bats Tuesday and the one that broke open Game 1 of this National League division series, Nick Castellanos whipped his right hand in the air and brought it down across the script “Phillies” logo on his chest.
And then, honest to goodness, he smiled.
OK, so maybe it was more of a tight-lipped smirk. But Castellanos definitely looked happy, or at least satisfied, as sure a sign as there is that good times really are rolling for the Phillies.
