The only non-pitcher on this list, Castillo is mentioned because he had a tremendous series against the Seattle Mariners earlier this week.
In the two games that he appeared in, Castillo went 3-7 with all three hits being home runs. He also picked up four RBI’s against his former team.
Maybe it was a case of a player getting revenge against his former team for trading him, or maybe he was just seeing the ball really well both nights. Who knows.
But whatever the reason, Castillo surged and now has 10 homers and 26 RBIs this season.
Hopefully, some of that momentum carries over into the Astros series.
