PHOENIX -- Welington Castillo took a week off to be with his wife and newborn son after there were complications with the boys birth.Everything is fine now, he said, and he celebrated his return with a big night at the plate in the Arizona Diamondbacks 10-6 victory over the New York Mets on Monday.Castillo matched his career high with four hits. He doubled twice, drove in two runs and scored twice for the last-place Diamondbacks, who swept three games from the Mets last week in New York.It felt good. My mind was free, Castillo said. Everything went fine. I have the baby at home, my wife, too. Theyre both really healthy so Im just here to do what I love to do.Bartolo Colon drew the first walk of his 19-year major league career but he lasted just four innings against Arizona. Colon said his left (non-pitching) wrist was sore when he was at bat and walked on a 3-2 pitch.That surprised me as well, Colon said through a translator. I dont know why that pitcher didnt strike me out. He could have. I really couldnt do much more at that point.Left-hander Robbie Ray (5-11), who threw seven scoreless innings in a no-decision against the Mets last Wednesday, allowed two runs and eight hits in five innings for his first victory in five starts. He struck out five and walked two.One of the walks went to the 43-year-old Colon on a 3-2 pitch in the fourth. It came in Colons 282nd career plate appearance.Thats really just unacceptable, to walk him like that, Ray said. There were two outs and, yeah, I walked him. But it wont happen again.According to ESPN Stats & Info, no other player in major league history had that many plate appearances without walking.It was the second first at the plate for Colon this season. On May 7, he became the oldest player in major league history to hit his first home run.Colon (10-7) allowed five runs, two earned, and nine hits.Castillo returned with his new baby in good health and the Diamondbacks, coming off a 16-2 loss at Boston on Sunday, welcomed him with a 16-hit performance, including seven doubles, a triple and a home run.Paul Goldschmidt had three hits, including a triple and a double. He scored three times. Yasmany Tomas hit a two-run homer off Hansel Robles in the eighth.Neil Walker had three hits for the Mets, including a solo home run in the ninth off Edwin Escobar, just called up from Triple-A Reno.Arizona scored three unearned runs in the first inning and led the rest of the way.Mets third baseman T.J. Rivera bobbled Jean Seguras grounder for an error to start the game.Michael Bourn, Jake Lamb and Castillo had RBI singles in the first, all on grounders up the middle.We didnt make a play, and after that they had four hits, Mets manager Terry Collins said. When you play behind Bartolo, you cant have many mistakes because they are going to put the ball in play against you.Trailing 8-2, the Mets scored three runs in the seventh. New York loaded the bases with no outs against lefty Steve Hathaway. Randall Delgado relieved Hathaway and walked in a run. Sacrifice flies by Rivera and Ty Kelly cut the lead to 8-5.Enrique Burgos, with a fastball hitting 97 mph, struck out the side for Arizona in the eighth.TRAINERS ROOMMets: OF Yoenis Cespedes (strained right quad) made his first rehab appearance since his injury, going 0 for 3 with a strikeout and an RBI groundout for Class A St. Lucie.

Pierce was ejected in the third quarter of Indianas 103-86 win Monday. George Hill stole a bad pass and was going in for a layup, and Pierce hustled back and appeared to be trying to wrap him up. Salomon Outlet Online . The FA rejected Wilsheres appeal that the length of his punishment was "clearly excessive" and said Thursday his suspension begins with immediate effect. He will miss league matches against Chelsea on Monday and West Ham on Dec. By the time the New Zealand team arrived at the Holkar Stadium for an optional training session at around 10am, about 500 people were already in the stands. They cheered Kane Williamson, the New Zealand captain who had missed the last Test because of illness, on. They were happy Williamson was batting in the nets. If Williamson played a good shot or raised his bat to them, they clapped. If he missed, they ooh-ed and aah-ed. By the time the Indian team arrived in the afternoon this number had swollen to about 4000. Mostly students, they queued up patiently outside the ground, and proved to be no hindrance to the preparation of either the teams or the ground staff once they got in. They sat patiently in the stands and watched.The Holkar Stadium apparently has a tradition to let the fans enter the ground for even the practice sessions. This is a luxury in India. Other stadiums generally consider the fans an inconvenience; going by the BCCI ticketing practices these grounds would rather look after only the broadcasters and the VIPs, who are given complimentary passes. On a day when the old guard of the BCCI was fighting for its existence in the Supreme Court, a ground that was gearing up for its Test debut was showing the way.Out in the middle, preparations went on regardless. Williamson batting in the nets, and having a bit of a bowl was good news for New Zealand. Its looking positive, Shane Jurgensen, New Zealands bowling coach, said. Final confirmation on that will probably be tomorrow. We trained today, and he did some batting and had a decent hit and a run around. Well have another look at him tomorrow, but it looks positive.India welcomed a senior face as well. Gautam Gambhir, who last played for India in 2014, was the first one to pad up for India. Indias batting coach Sanjay Bangar empathised with Gambhirs situation; he gets one Test, and it is quite possible he is usurped by both the injured openers by the time England come. Bangar, however, refused to rule him out for the rest of the season. Gautam Gambhir is a quality player; what he has done really for himself, for the time he was out of the Indian team he kept on performing for his franchise and state side, Bangar said. When he got an opportunity in the Duleep Trophy, he was one of the top scorers there. That too against the pink baall, which certain batsmen found was difficult to pick.ddddddddddddYes, he ticked all boxes. Untimely injury to KL Rahul Shikhar Dhawan made sure that there is a place for him. He is something of a quality performer. Proven record against spin bowling. And the number of Test matches we are going to play in India, he becomes an important player right at the top of the order.Gambhir has come back with runs in Duleep Trophy, and with an open stance, at least half the way to what Shivnarine Chanderpaul had. Gambhir has worked on it with Justin Langer and Langers personal coach Neil Holder. The need of the hour, though, might be a change for the New Zealand spinners to work on. Their batsmen have shown a lot of discipline to make Indias bowlers work hard, a fact R Ashwin has acknowledged in his interview with bcci.tv, but they have been undone by natural variation for the India bowlers. India exploit it more because their spinners bowl with the seam parallel to the ground whereas the New Zealand spinners - like others who visit Asia - bowl with the seam pointing to fine leg at 45 degrees.It was certainly something we were working on before we came to India, Jurgensen said. It doesnt come as naturally, we bowl a different way where we come from. But the boys have been working on it to get that natural variation. Every game weve improved.It was refreshing to see the talk return to seam positions and Indias mindset of not even thinking of losing in crunch situations, thus, according to Bangar, being clear in their minds. It must not be easy for the players from either side to be clear in these times. Indias players are used to answering to the BCCI even though the money in cricket is publics and generated because of them. They must be wondering what lies ahead. New Zealands players must be aware the BCCI is capable of carrying through with its threats of pulling out of a series, and would have spent the two days after the Kolkata Test in limbo. There was no information from their hosts, the BCCI.Once again, though, if the practice sessions and the response two days before Indores debut Test are anything to go by, on the field it is almost certain to be business as usual.
