#Staturday: Castillo’s Great Week Puts Him Among O’s Best

Happy Staturday Birdland! It was a long road trip and as we saw on Friday, there’s no place like home. To the stats!

On Friday, Welington Castillo launched a walk-off homer in extra innings extending his three-hit streak to four games:

Welington Castillo is the first catcher since 1974 and third catcher since 1913 to go on a four-game three-hit streak.

Welington joins Cal Ripken, Eddie Murray, and Don Buford as the only Orioles with three hits in four consecutive games.

Earlier this week, Chris Davis hit two extra-inning home runs and joined an impressive list:
