For the first time since May 16, Detroit Tigers utility infielder Harold Castro accepted an interview request.
He hustled out of the clubhouse, dressed in street clothes, and declined to speak with reporters after Tuesday night's 4-3 win over the Kansas City Royals, in which Castro delivered a walk-off single in the bottom of the 10th inning and drove in three runs. He hadn't provided a reason for declining nearly a dozen interview requests, if not more, over the past four months until Wednesday afternoon.
"When I had the chance, when you guys come to me to do this, I was in a hurry or something with family outside or something like that," Castro said Wednesday.
