The Philadelphia Phillies benched Nick Castellanos earlier this week for his play and for choice words he said to manager Rob Thomson, now Castellanos is speaking out.

Nick Castellanos’ leaping grab at the right-field wall helped save the Phillies on Wednesday. There was some irony in that being the final play of their 4-2 win over Miami, given that Castellanos had been benched for the previous game for an incident that began with him being removed for a defensive substitution.

Nick Castellanos responds after benching with a clutch performance as the Philadelphia Phillies top the Marlins in a key NL East win.
