The game started off with both teams' pitchers throwing some serious heat, which kept the scoreboard empty through the first four innings. Our starting lineup, including heavy hitters like Kyle Schwarber, Nick Castellanos, and Bryce Harper, were kept in check by the Brewers' pitching. Likewise, the Phillies' defense and pitching staff, did an excellent job at keeping the Brewers off the bases, with a combination of strikeouts and great fielding plays.Castellanos Sparks the Offense
The game turned in the bottom of the fifth inning when the atmosphere at the ballpark electrified after Castellanos smacked a two-run homer to left center, bringing in Garrett Stubbs who had walked earlier in the inning.

Following the exciting fifth inning, it was down to our pitchers to maintain the lead.
