Castellanos went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's 5-4 win over Atlanta.
Castellanos' seventh-inning blast gave Philadelphia its first lead of the game, and the bullpen held on for the win. Over his last seven games, Castellanos has gone 9-for-28 (.321) with three homers, nine RBI and three multi-hit efforts. The veteran outfielder is slashing .250/.303/.425 with 19 homers, 73 RBI, 65 runs scored and five stolen bases over 134 contests this year, but he's batted a much more reliable .296 (42-for-142) since the All-Star break, which is more in line with his usual production.
