In his first start for the Yankees since April 29, Locastro doubled his measly season hit total by the fourth inning.
Tim Locastro entered Sunday with three hits on the season.
Drawing the start in right field over Joey Gallo against left-hander Chris Sale, Locastro went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and a stolen base. He spurred the Yankees’ eight-run fourth inning with a leadoff single and capped the inning with a blast to left-center in a“Terrific,” manager Aaron Boone said of Locastro. “The big inning, it starts with him stealing a base. We get a ball, find a hole, all of a sudden we get a big number. Timmy was the spark to that.
But a back strain sent Locastro to the IL in early May and when the Yankees reinstated him on June 3, they sent him down to SWB. You wouldn’t gauge that by watching him at the plate Sunday.
