Watch: Phillies' Nick Castellanos shocks son with two-HR effort in NLDS Game 3

Game 3 of the National League Division Series between the Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves is one the Castellanos family won't soon forget. 

Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos played a significant role in a 10-2 win over the Atlanta Braves, smashing two home runs on the night, to the shock and amazement of his young son Liam, who had a front-row seat to witness his dad's heroics. 

After notching his first long ball off Braves starter Bryce Elder in the third inning, Castellanos launched his second blast in the eighth off Smith-Shawver, leaving Liam speechless.     

Bryce Harper equaled Castellanos with two homers, giving him 10 career NLDS HRs, the most ever

Meanwhile, shortstop Trea Turner and outfielder Brandon Marsh went deep, giving the Phillies six homers on the night, tying an MLB record set by the Chicago Cubs in the 2015 NLDS.
