The Philadelphia Phillies took a 1-0 lead over the Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League Championship Series. With Game 2 on Tuesday night, Diamondbacks starting pitcher Merrill Kelly made waves for his comments about Citizens Bank Park, home of the Phillies.
Kelly said that he felt the atmosphere at LoanDepot Park in Miami, Fla., for Team USA's World Baseball Classic win over Venezuela was louder than Philadelphia for the NLCS. This was brought to the attention of Phillies shortstop Trea Turner, who told reporters, "he can maybe tell you after tonight what it's like," at Citizens Bank Park.
Well, Kelly got a taste of it early on in Game 2. In the bottom of the first inning, Turner stepped up to the plate as Philadelphia's second batter and crushed a 421-foot home run to the left-center field stands to give the Phillies an early 1-0 lead.
That was the call on the TBS broadcast. Here's the call of Turner's home run on the MLB Network Spanish broadcast.
