What a moment for Rhys Hoskins.
Hoskins, who entered Friday's game just 1-18 in the postseason with six strikeouts (and just two hits in his last 37 at bats dating back to the regular sseason), came up to the plate for his second at-bat in the bottom of the third and absolutely smashed a three-run home run to left showing a lot of emotion.
Hoskins struck out in his first at-bat and was unable to come up Alec Bohm's low throw to first base. All of this just days after missing a grounder at first leading to the Braves' first run, which many Philly fans and media said was the reason the Phillies lost Game 2. Hoskins was starting to hear the boos from the Philly fans.
