ROOKIE Starlin Castro marked his first appearance for the Chicago Cubs by hitting a debut record six RBIs and smashing a three-run homer in his first at-bat on Friday.
The 20-year-old shortstop from the Dominican Republic was called up from Double-A Tennessee earlier on Friday and helped his new teammates to a 14-7 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. "I don't believe it," Castro told reporters after hitting Reds starter Homer Bailey over the right field wall. In the fourth, Castro hit a three-run triple off Reds reliever Micah Owings to beat the previous mark of five for RBIs on a debut, recorded most recently by Ben Grieve for the Oakland Athletics in 1997.
