Colts 7-4 Winners Versus Cincinnati
Manuel de Castro was instrumental in his team's 7-4 triumph over the Cincinnati Bengals. The right fielder was 2-4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 4 for the Indianapolis Colts. Picking up his 1st save was 11-year veteran Ryan Elkins. The win puts Indianapolis at 15-11.

The game turned with one out in the bottom of the fourth. That's when de Castro hit a 3-run home run off Jon Valles. It propelled the Colts into the lead, 5-2.

"There's so many different ways you can win a game," said winning manager Kevin Stimac.
