Mountcastle went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a strikeout in a 3-0 shutout of the Rangers on Thursday.
Mountcastle singled in the third inning and doubled Baltimore's lead with a solo shot to right in the fifth for his third multi-hit game in his last six. While a .221 September average isn't spectacular, six of Mountcastle's 16 hits have left the yard while his 31 total homers rank 22nd in MLB.
