Castro’s two-homer night marked the first multi-homer game in his professional career and the first time he’s homered in back-to-back games since joining the Red Sox organization. Castro has now homered five times in his last 10 games.

Ugueto’s four RBI, which included a three-run homer in the third, tied his career high which he first set back in Single-A on April 15 2022, against the Fayetteville Woodpeckers, also like Asheville, an affiliate of the Houston Astros.
