Nick Castellanos' Walk-Off Hit Energizes MLB Fans as Phillies Beat Mets to Even NLDS

The night belonged to Nick Castellanos.

The Philadelphia Phillies outfielder delivered a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth to secure a 7-6 Game 2 NLDS victory over the New York Mets.

Castellanos had delivered a diving catch in the top of the ninth inning to keep the game tied at six. He finished the day 3-for-5 with two RBIs, two runs scored and a home run.

His heroics had fans rushing to social media to praise his efforts.

Castellanos wasn't the only standout performer. Bryson Stott, who was celebrating his 27th birthday, went 2-for-4 with two RBIs, both of which came on a two-run triple in the eighth inning.

Bryce Harper went 1-for-3 with two RBIs and Trea Turner went 2-for-4. Cristopher Sanchez went five innnings, allowing two runs striking out five batters.

Fans celebrated the Phillies effort and projected the team to carry the momentum back to New York.

The best-of-five series is now tied at 1 as it heads to Queens for the next two games. An 0-2 hole would have been very difficult for the Phillies to climb out of, but the tied up series will give both teams a solid footing in the pursuit for a series win.

Game 3 is scheduled for Tuesday at 5:08 p.m. ET.
