Before Ozuna’s homer, the only run allowed by Sonny Gray (4-2) when Travis d’Arnaud drove in a run while grounding into a forceout. Castillo (5-6) allowed seven hits, struck out seven and snapped a personal four-game losing streak. Rookie Mason Englert (3-2), the third of six Detroit pitchers who combined for 16 strikeouts, allowed one run over 2 1/3 innings. The game started 15 minutes late because of the weather, and there was another delay of 1 hour, 44 minutes in the third inning. Westburg, one of the game’s top infield prospects, was called up before the game and started at second base.
