The Phillies on Thursday beat the Mariners and reached .500 for the first time this season. With momentum in hand, they head to Houston to face the Astros for the first time since the World Series, NBCSPhilly reports.
Nick Castellanos wasn’t so sure.
That momentum seemed important to everybody involved Sunday afternoon. Thomson managed the game with the approach that worked so well in the postseason. Castellanos hustled to score the game’s only run. After leading off the second inning with a single to center, Castellanos got impatient as Seattle’s George Kirby retired Brandon Marsh and Alec Bohm.
After creating the Phillies’ only run, Castellano went to work to make it stand up. His sliding catch of a Tom Murphy line drive ended the Mariners’ 7th with runners on second and third.“Catch it,” Castellanos said. “If I didn’t, then it’s a tie game and I didn’t want that.” With umpire Andy Fletcher approaching, Stubbs started back to the plate, stopped, then returned to the mound. Suddenly, the Phillies were changing pitchers. Strahm walked off the field to a deserved ovation and Seranthony Dominguez trotted out from the bullpen.“Strahmy was about to have his third time through the lineup,” Thomson said. “Their most dangerous hitter was coming up. I wanted a righthander on him.
