Daily News | Nick Castellanos’ sliding catches have become an unlikely staple in the Phillies’ playoff run
It happened in the first inning. On the first pitch, in fact. Jose Altuve, who ambushed Zack Wheeler with a double in Game 2, was at it again, lining Ranger Suárez’s first pitch to shallow right field. It was sure to fall for a hit. The expected batting average, according to Statcast: .560.
