NEW YORK -- Someone raised the question Thursday of whether red-hot Starlin Castro should be hitting higher than eighth in the New York Yankees lineup. Perhaps he should be, but while the last two days have helped make the team's new second baseman into an instant star in the Bronx, they've also shown why the Yankees can keep Castro so low in the order. They have plenty of other guys who can hit too.
Castro hit another home run in the Yankees’ 8-5 win over the Houston Astros. In three games as a Yankee, Castro has seven hits, including two doubles and two homers, with eight RBIs.
