The Padres were defeated in the fourth game of the series. 0:47

7:57 AM AST

In a sport that often defies logic, Nick Castellanos had a simple explanation for the Philadelphia's comeback from a disastrous top of the first in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series.

The Padres jumped out to a four-run lead in the top of the first, but thePhillies came back with three runs in the bottom of the first and went on to win 10-6).

"We knew the crowd was going to be a factor, and we were able to score 31 runs and hit.313 at Citizens Bank Park in the playoffs," said first baseman Rhys Hoskins, who is batting.313 in the playoffs. We're sure of that.

You can snowball things if you get the one big hit.

The top of the lineup was the only one that didn't change. Their top five hitters delivered big nights as they each got at least two hits or scored at least two runs, going a combined 9 for 18 with seven extra- base hits and all 10 runs scored. The two-run home runs by Hoskins were the difference in the game.

After the Padres scored four runs off Bailey Falter in the first, Kyle Schwarber led off the bottom of the frame with a single. The count was full against the Padres starter, Mike Clevinger, who threw a 94-mph fastball right down the middle.

"Many of us said'27 outs' after the first baseman hit the ball," he said. We have been down before. With multiple guys having to be put in different positions, we were going to have to fight. Tonight, we did that.

He hit his second home run very impressively. Manaea made his first appearance in the playoffs. With the Padres leading 6-3, Schwarber worked a one-out walk and the manager left in Manaea, who had a 6.44 earned run average in the second half.

With the count 1-2, Hoskins hit a ball 417 feet to the left-center stands. The park exploded when the home run tied the game.

Castellanos said, "Rhys deserves those moments more than anyone else." "He's been here from the beginning, he's been through a lot of losing, so to be on this stage and to come through like this, I can't be happier for him."

It was the first time since Chase Utley hit a home run in the World Series that the Phils had not hit two homers. In the past, he's said he's tired of hearing about the 2008 World Series champion club, even though he appreciates baseball history and being mentioned with Utley and other greats. He wants to tell his own story.

He is learning about 2008 now.

We feel like we're living it. It's deafening when the red towels are used. It's just the entire scene. He said that he could feel the electricity building when he stepped on the field. I need more I want more of it.

After 15 pitches and no outs, Clevinger's short outing left the Padres without a ninth-inning pitcher.

It was one of the worst days of my life. That's what it ends up being. It doesn't feel good.

Manaea entered in the fourth and gave up a run. In the fifth, he came back for a second time. After Hoskins' home run tied the game, J.T. Realmuto walked and BryceHarper hit a double to left-center to give the Reds the lead.

I was going to try to get Manaea one time in the lineup. His stuff was better than mine. The man had 95. When he got into the zone, he had swings and misses, but he couldn't find it. It happened in the second quarter.

ThePhillies are careful not to get ahead of themselves, but they are oozing with confidence, especially with ace Wheeler going in Game 5 and coming off a masterful outing in Game 1

"I'm sorry it's getting redundant, I've said this a few times in the last few days, and I'm sorry," he said. "You can't write better for the guys in that room, for the staff, for everyone in this organization, but I think most importantly for the city." You cannot write it better. I'm not sure what tomorrow is going to be like.
