Third-base umpire Adam Hamari immediately saw the phone and pointed to it on the ground. Pirates infielder Rodolfo Castro's phone fell out of his back pocket Tuesday night as he slid into third against Arizona.

Castro slid headfirst into the bag to beat the throw, and the impact sent his phone flying from his back pocket. The second-year second baseman walked in the fourth inning and went to third on Oneil Cruz's single. Rookie Tommy Henry (1-1) was sharp in his Chase Field debut, allowing a run on four hits in seven innings for his first big league win.Ĭastro made a different kind of noise after being called up from Triple-A Indianapolis - with his phone. 'I don't think there's any professional ballplayer that would ever go out there with any intentions of taking a cellphone,'' Castro told Pittsburgh media members through an interpreter.

The Pittsburgh infielder lost his phone during a slide into third base, and the Pirates lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-4 on Tuesday night. PHOENIX - Rodolfo Castro got the call-up and dropped a call in his return to the big leagues.
