New York, NY (Sports Network) – Chicago Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro and St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Jaime Garcia shared the National League’s top award for the first week of the 2011 season.
Castro began his second big-league campaign by leading the majors with eight hits, going 8-for-13 with a .615 batting average and .643 on-base percentage for games played through April 3rd.
The Cubs began the year by dropping two of three games to Pittsburgh.
Castro went 3-for-5 in a 6-3 season-opening loss on Friday, then on Saturday jumpstarted a five-run, eighth-inning with a run-scoring double and finished 2-for-4 with a run scored in a 5-3 victory.
He rounded out the week by hitting a pair of triples in a three-hit effort on Sunday, but the Cubs fell 5-4. His 1.000 slugging percentage and 13 total bases were tops in the NL.
