Luis Castillo Takes On Familiar Foe On Saturday
11 months agoSeattle Mariners starting pitcher Luis Castillo will be visited by the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday. He has dealt with the Bucs on many occasions from his days in the NL Central with the Cincinnati Reds. The 30-year-old is 4-1 with a splendid 1.68 ERA and 49 strikeouts in eight starts (48.1 innings) against Pittsburgh since 2019. Castillo has notably permitted one run or fewer in six of those eight appearances and has gone at least five innings in each outing. The two-time All-Star had an authoritative 0.73 ERA in his initial four starts this year. He then had a 5.67 ERA across the next five contests, but Castillo looks to match the results of his most recent effort when he tossed six scoreless frames against the Oakland Athletics on Monday.
