Castro Excels, Montreal Levels New York
No one was more impactful than Ramon Castro in the 13-3 Montreal win over New York. Castro, who is a two-time Gold Glove Award winner, went 3 for 3 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 5. With the loss, New York sinks to 5-13.

Castro contributed a big hit, a 3-run home run, for Montreal in the bottom of the fourth. With his team trailing 3-1, Castro took a changeup from Julio Valera and stroked the home run to left-center. His 3rd home run of the season allowed the Expos to leap in front, 4-3.

"We're in a little bit of a dry spell," said New York manager Cesar Sanchez.
