Miguel Castro made a quick but frustrating appearance out of the Orioles bullpen in Tuesday night’s 6-3 win over the New York Mets, allowing a leadoff triple and an infield single before he committed an error and was lifted from the game.
For a pitcher who the Orioles hold in such high regard, it’s been a rough stretch lately for Castro, who has allowed a run in five of his six starts this month. His ERA has jumped from 3.21 on Aug. 1 to 3.86 after Tuesday’s outing.
“His command has been a challenge for him more recently,” manager Buck Showalter said.
