Harold Castro earned this week’s Smashburger “Smashed It” Play of the Week for his double against the Rangers in Texas on Saturday.

With the Rockies trailing the Rangers 11-3 in the eighth inning, Castro came to the plate and lined a ball into the left-field corner. Mike Moustakas came around to cut into the deficit, 11-4, but it was too much for Colorado to overcome. They lost the game 11-5 in a series to forget, as Texas swept the Rockies in the three-game set.

Here’s how Castro’s double looked and sounded on Saturday. It starts at the 8:06 mark.
