PHILADELPHIA -- Nick Castellanos blasted two more home runs, Johan Rojas preserved a tight lead on a running catch and the Philadelphia Phillies finished off the Atlanta Braves 3-1 on Thursday to win their National League Division Series in four games.
For the second straight year, Philadelphia upset its higher-seeded division rival in the best-of-five NLDS to advance to the best-of-seven NL Championship Series. The Phillies will host the Arizona Diamondbacks for Game 1 on Monday.
Castellanos -- who entered play Wednesday with one career playoff homer in 26 games -- became the first player in major league history to hit two home runs in back-to-back postseason games.
