Castro, a utility infielder for the Dodgers, played for the first time in the postseason when he pinch ran for pinch-hitter Jim Thome in the bottom of the eighth inning.
Making his second trip to the playoffs after a stint earlier in his career with the Cincinnati Reds, Castro was eventually stranded at third base when Manny Ramirez popped out to end the eighth.
Castro stayed in to play third base in the top of the ninth.

The Burroughs High football team had a great deal of motivation going into Thursday's Pacific League game with Pasadena at Memorial Field.
A win would put the Indians in elite company.
Burroughs took care of business, getting three touchdowns from Dalton Williams to gain a 35-12 victory.
The win was important for the Indians (4-2, 3-0 in league) because it kept them undefeated in league.
Burroughs and Burbank (4-1, 2-0), which plays Glendale tonight, are the only two undefeated teams remaining in the league.
With four games remaining in league for Burroughs, it will likely have to run the table if it hopes to secure its first league championship in three years.
If Burbank can also win its next four Pacific League games, it could play cross-town rival Burroughs for the title. That hasn't happened 35 years.

One year after north Glendale residents succeeded in preventing the construction of a T-Mobile micro-cellular antenna site in the city right-of-way, officials announced a series of public input meetings on a draft ordinance to regulate the wireless telecommunication equipment.
The City Council in January imposed a moratorium on all micro-cell sites in residential zones to allow the City Attorney’s Office enough time to draft the ordinance, which should address public concerns over compatibility issues.
Included in the draft proposal are two types of permits for cellular antennas on public and private property, which would require more widespread community notification, preferred positioning, certain design elements and safety and monitoring standards. The equipment would also be required to comply with federal radio frequency regulations.
City officials will include the public remarks in a draft proposal to the Planning Commission, which will make a recommendation to the City Council.
The planned meetings are scheduled for:
• 6:30 p.m., Oct. 28, Pacific Park Sycamore community room, second floor, 501 S. Pacific Ave.
• 6:30 p.m., Nov. 2, Brand Library, 1601 W. Mountain St.
• 11 a.m., Nov. 7, Sparr Heights Community Center, 1613 Glencoe Way.
First the nation sat riveted to the story of 6-year-old Falcon Heene, who, they thought, was sailing over Colorado in a runaway balloon. Turned out Falcon was safe at home, hiding in the attic. Reporters asked Falcon's dad, Richard Heene, why Falcon would hide like that.
"He said it's because I yelled at him," said Richard Heene, who lived in Burbank a few years ago. "I'm sorry I yelled at him."
His former landlady is dubious. When Heene rented a home from Carrie Cavalier in Burbank a few years ago, he wasn't exactly the picture of responsibility.
Heene lived in Burbank for a few years, trying to live the Hollywood dream. He met Cavalier before she rented him her home, and she took headshots for him, so he could pursue an acting career that never got off the ground.
"So, of course, you know, I let him rent it," she said. "And he was supposed to pay me money and the rent was late."
Things went sour soon after she rented the house. By the time he skipped town in 2007, moving the family to Colorado, Heene owed Cavalier $6,000, she said.
"He was supposed to pay me security and last month's rent, and then I said, 'wWhy don't you fix my roof?" she said.
He claimed he fixed the roof, Cavalier said -- but it still leaked.
"He just never followed through with it, " she says.
When Heene left, she took pictures of the damage he left behind. She's still waiting for her rent money.
