Willi Castro homers as part of three-hit game Tuesday

Willi Castro went 3-for-4 with a home run and three runs batted in as he lifted the Rockies to a 5-1 victory over the Astros on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact:

Castro started at second base on Tuesday and took Houston starter, Mike Burrows, deep for a two-run shot in the bottom of the fourth that gave Colorado a 3-1 lead. Meanwhile, his second-inning RBI single tied the game at 1-1. It was Castro's first home run of the season and he is now batting .250 (10-for-40) with a home run and seven runs batted in through 11 games. He has appeared at every infield position, as well as two games in left field, so his versatility - plus playing in Coors Field - makes him an intriguing player in deeper leagues.
