Picks up win Thursday Castro (4-0) earned the win over Houston on Thursday, issuing one walk and striking out one batter in one inning.

Impact The right-hander's outing at first resembled mop-up duty with the Yankees trailing by three runs entering the ninth inning and facing the daunting task of trying to come back against Astros closer Ryan Pressly, but Castro's scoreless frame ended up being critical when New York stormed back for four runs and a walk-off win in the bottom of the frame. The veteran reliever has already set a single-season career high with four victories on the campaign.

Picks up third victory Castro (3-0) earned the win over Minnesota on Thursday, pitching 1.1 scoreless innings during which he allowed one walk and struck out one batter.

Impact Yankees ace Gerrit Cole was uncharacteristically shelled for seven runs over 2.1 innings, forcing manager Aaron Boone to go to the bullpen early. Castro was New York's third pitcher, taking over with two outs in the bottom of the fifth. He struck out Gio Urshela to end the frame, then retired three of the four batters he faced in the sixth. Castro was credited with the win when New York put up a pair of runs to take the lead in top of the following inning. The right-hander has enjoyed a strong first season as a Yankee, supplementing his three wins with six holds and a 3.24 ERA.

Earns win in relief Castro (2-0) was credited with the win Thursday against Baltimore, pitching one-third of an inning during which he allowed one hit and one walk while striking out one.

Impact Castro didn't pitch particularly well, as he gave up a double and a walk upon entering in the fifth inning before getting a strikeout to escape a bases-loaded jam. The reliever benefitted from fortunate circumstances, however, as the Yankees scored four runs in the bottom of the frame to put him in position for a win. Castro has two victories and three holds this season while posting a 2.45 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 6:6 K:BB across 7.1 innings.
