Nick Castellanos

Castellanos' two-run double in the ninth padded the Phillies' lead at 3-0, putting them in position to come out on the winning side of a pitchers duel that saw both teams go eight innings without scoring a run. Castellanos is 6-for-19 at the plate over his last five games, with a homer, four doubles, and five RBI. He's slashing .266/.309/.500 on the month with nine extra-base hits.

Nick Castellanos' solo homer highlighted the Philadelphia Phillies dominant victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

It was shocking to see Castellanos go yard on such a typical, mundane Sunday afternoon. Regardless, the late homer pushed his OPS above .700 for the first time since March and he's slashing .302/.349/.517 over his last 30 games.

Five years later, how have the biggest (and some of the smallest) moves fared?
