Castro ditches phone, brings bat, Pirates beat D-backs 6-4

Rodolfo Castro left his phone in the clubhouse, brought his bat to the field and helped the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-4 on Wednesday night. “Like we talked about, he made a mistake," Pirates manager Derek Shelton said. The Pirates jumped out a 2-0 lead in the third when Ben Gamel's double to the right-center gap brought home Jason Delay and Kevin Newman, who finished with three hits.
