HR Streak

Nick Castellanos of the Phillies homers with one out in the second inning to extend the Phillies lead over the Diamondbacks to 3-0. He’s now homered in three straight games, five dingers in all. I have to believe that a pretty good home run streak for the post-season.

Update: As far as I can tell, Schwarber ties a record help by Donn Clendenon of the Mets and Hank Aaron of the Braves in 1969. Aaron hit home runs in three straight games against the Mets in the best of five NLCS, but the Mets won the series. Clendenon, who did not play in the NLCS, then hit home runs in three straight games for the Mets against the Orioles in the World Series.
