The Phillies got on the scoreboard early in the first inning thanks to a Bryce Harper RBI double. Castellanos added to it with a two-run homer. However, he was not done yet as he launched another one in the third inning to record his 200th career home run in the MLB.
On the other side of the ball, Michael Lorenzen had a perfect night, shutting out the Nationals over nine innings without giving away a hit.
Meanwhile, fans are bemused about the death of Lil Tay, with one tweeting:
"Someone tell me what is going with the Lil Tay situation."

While the Philadelphia Phillies bats were on fire against the Washington Nationals on Wednesday, Michael Lorenzen introduced himself to the home fans in style.
The newly acquired pitcher threw the first no-hitter of his MLB career in his first home game for the Phillies. Lorenzen completed nine innings on the night, shutting out the Nationals offense whitout giving away a single hit.
With Nick Castellanos leading the offense with his 200th home run, the Phillies management will be very happy with their new pitching ace, too.
