Allows eighth-inning run Castro allowed one run on two hits over a third of an inning in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to Atlanta.

Impact Castro, who entered with one out in the eighth inning and a string of righties due up, gave up a pair of doubles that started Atlanta's comeback from a 5-2 deficit. Kevin Ginkel could not hold the lead in the ninth, as the Diamondbacks didn't execute well -- relieving or fielding -- at the end of the game. The right-handed Castro is part of the setup crew and will get high-leverage appearances.

Blows lead, takes loss Castro (5-4) was tagged with Thursday's loss to Atlanta. He allowed three runs on two hits and one walk over two-thirds of an inning.

Impact Castro, who began the eighth inning with a 5-3 lead, sandwiched a pair of outs around a double before getting into trouble. He walked Ozzie Albies before Austin Riley took him deep for a three-run home run to erase Arizona's lead. Although his 3.4 BB/9 is an improvement over previous seasons, it's still a high number and the right-hander walked a delicate line before Thursday's costly free pass. A one-time member of a closer-by-committee, Castro has since returned to a middle-relief role, one in which he had recent success. Castro entered the game with a 1.50 ERA over his previous 12 innings.

Impact Castro cut it close, giving up half of Arizona's lead before successfully closing out the game. The right-hander has had a shaky month of June, giving up six runs across three innings.

JUNE 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Works around traffic for save Castro allowed two hits in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Friday's 3-2 win over Atlanta.

Impact Castro put two of the first three batters aboard in the ninth inning, but got a flyout from Ozzie Albies and a groundout from Orlando Arcia to avoid disaster. This was Castro's 11th straight scoreless appearance, a span in which he's picked up five of his six saves this year while adding two holds and two wins. The right-hander continues to get late-inning work as a result of his strong pitching -- he's at a 2.13 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 22:8 K:BB through 25.1 innings this year, bringing stability to the back end of Arizona's bullpen. Andrew Chafin remains Castro's primary competition for save chances in what's become a two-man committee.
