The Phillies catch an early break after the umpires try to take away Castellanos' outstanding catch

There were early fireworks in Game 3 of the NLDS between the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Mets on Tuesday. While the second inning almost spiraled out of control for Phillies starter Aaron Nola, right fielder Nick Castellanos made an absolutely outstanding catch as he jumped into the right field wall at Citi Field. Although the referees initially didn't call it a catch.

After Mets first baseman Pete Alonso hit a home run into opposite field to take the lead in the bottom of the second, Nola was already down 1-0 when Jose Iglesias hit a single to left field. The Mets had made good contact early against the Phillies right-hander. The third batter of the inning, Jesse Winker, continued the trend, launching what looked like a possible home run to right.

Then Castellanos, Game 2's walk-off hero, made his diving attack, much to the delight and relief of Phillies fans.

But after the ball bounced out of his glove, the on-field umpires called the ball a no-catch, causing Phillies fans to hold their breath. On the live stream, it seemed clear that as Castellanos landed with the ball in his glove, he was in control before popping out as he transferred the ball. But after the no-catch call on the field, things got exciting from the Phillies' perspective.

While it seemed elementary that the call would be overturned, you never know. After a quick review, the Phillies disputed the call. When the decision came back from the MLB video replay room, it was thankfully overturned. Phillies fans could breathe a sigh of relief again. The real question is: How could the umpire standing on the right field line miss that call?

Iglesias, who had ended up at second base due to the confusing play, returned to first base while Winker went to the Mets' dugout. Nola cleaned up the inning and didn't allow the Mets to get anything else in the second.

After splitting the first two games in Philadelphia, the series was moved to New York for Games 3 and 4. Game 5 will be played again at Citizens Bank Park on Friday if necessary.
