He had a\u00a0streak of 231 consecutive games played\u00a0for the Phillies, the most since Pete Rose in the 1980s. But the 13th-year veteran is also known for being a bit prickly. And his impressive streak of consecutive games ended after he got benched\u00a0for \u201dcrossing a line\u201d with Thomson.<\/p>\n<p>With a new issue to be surly about, fans were naturally paying close attention to the two-time All-Star on Saturday. Castellanos had an uneventful game until the contest went into extra innings.<\/p>\n<p>The 33-year-old outfielder led off the bottom of the 10th and was immediately hit by a 96 mph Hunter Stratton fastball. He advanced to second on a Bryson Stott single. Then Turner drove in designated runner Brandon Marsh from third and Castellanos beat the throw from right field to score the game-winner from second.<\/p>\n<p>But after sliding home safely, Castellanos appeared uninterested in celebrating the dramatic win. As his Phillies teammates swarmed the field, Castellanos kept his head down, seemingly ignoring the revelry around him.<\/p>\n<p>Like Castellanos, Phillies fans were not shy about sharing their thoughts:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jeremy Tramontana\u00a0wrote:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSaw that.
