Connects for 13th homer Castellanos went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the White Sox.
Impact Castellanos got the party started in Cincinnati, mashing the first of four Reds homers off opposing starter Jonathan Stiever, and by doing so ended a personal 10-game homerless drought. He has an OPS over .800 for the fifth consecutive season, but Castellanos' batting average is lagging behind at .234 through 210 plate appearances and that's hurting him in traditional rotisserie leagues.
