2G consecutive multi-home run, Silver Slugger ML

 Philadelphia won 3-1 in Game 4 of the National League Division Series (3 wins out of 5) against the 2023 Major League Atlanta Braves held at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA on the 13th (Korean time). Philadelphia achieved an upset by defeating Atlanta for the second year in a row.

Of course, Castellanos was the recipient of the award for victory on this day. Castellanos, who started as the 7th hitter and right fielder, led the victory by going 2 hits in 3 at-bats, 2 home runs, 1 walk, 2 RBI, and 2 runs. In particular, Castellanos, who hit multiple home runs in Game 3, set a major league record by hitting two home runs in two consecutive games. According to MLB.com, the official Major League Baseball website, Castellanos became the first player in postseason history to record multiple home runs in two consecutive games.

Castellanos' first home run of the game hit in the fourth inning. With the score down 0-1, Castellanos targeted opposing starter Spencer Strider's 86.6 mph slider and made a solo arc that went over the left wall.

And he hit a home run again in the 6th inning. With a slight lead of 2-1, Castellanos hit a 100 mph fastball on Strider's fifth pitch. The batted ball quickly flew toward the outfield and led to a solo shot to left.

Philadelphia widened the score gap thanks to Castellanos' performance. There were numerous crises until the end of the game, but the bullpen blocked Atlanta's batting line without allowing any additional runs and preserved the victory. Philadelphia now faces the Arizona Diamondbacks in the championship series.

MLB.com also focused on Castellanos' performance. The media said, "Castellanos has not hidden the fact that he wants a ring. He is doing everything to get it. He led Philadelphia to victory by hitting multiple home runs in two consecutive games for the first time in postseason history."
