Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins broke out of a playoff slump in a big way during Game 3 of the National League Division Series, taking Atlanta Braves rookie pitcher Spencer Strider deep for a three-run home run in the bottom of the third inning. Hoskins was 1-for-19 this postseason before depositing a Strider fastball into the left-field stands — so perhaps that’s why he spiked his bat in such a dramatic manner after hitting the 394-foot shot.<\/p>\n

It ignited the crowd, which moments later had another reason to go wild: Outfielder Bryce Harper also went deep, this time off lefty reliever Dylan Lee. Harper’s homer traveled 402 feet to right field.<\/p>\n

The home runs, the bat spike and the six-run third woke up the Philly faithful after a quiet first couple of innings in their first home playoff game since 2011.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
