Alonso’s 385-foot home run to right field came on the first pitch of the bottom of the second inning from Phillies starter Aaron Nola, igniting the already-electric, sold-out Citi Field crowd. So before rounding the bases, he sent his bat flying way up into the sky.

Nick Castellanos experienced it all in Game 2, from being booed by the home fans to a game-winning hit. It was a microcosm of his three-year tenure with the Phillies.
