Castro collects three hits in win vs. Tigers
Willi Castro went 3-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in a 5-0 win over the Tigers on Sunday. Castro had three singles and didn’t swipe a base, but scoring twice isn’t so bad. The 27-year-old continues to lead off against right-handed pitching but had struggled in July coming into today, hitting just .189 in 19 games with no stolen bases. Perhaps this could be a turning point.
Alonso doubles, hits two-run shot
Pete Alonso went 2-for-4 with a double and two-run homer on Sunday against the Braves. The Mets’ offense had been silenced over their last two games before Alonso smacked his 18th long ball to mercifully break what would’ve been their second consecutive shutout. He’s begun to heat up with five extra-base hits in his last six games after what was a miserable six week stretch through June and July.
