Luis Castillo dominates Blue Jays in tight victory
by Chris Schommer | Mariners Correspondent | Sat, Jul 6th 8:15am EDT
Luis Castillo delivered a stellar performance, allowing just one earned run on two hits and two walks while striking out eight over 6 2/3 innings in Friday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jays.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a breath of fresh air for Castillo, who has been battling to lower a somewhat inflated 3.72 ERA and 1.18 WHIP accumulated over 19 starts this season. His ability to suppress hits, demonstrated by a .289 BABIP, and maintain a solid 9.0 K/9 ratio, continues to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, especially in categories like strikeouts and WHIP. While his win-loss record now improves to 8-9, Castillo's performance in this game should provide some optimism for fantasy managers looking for strong finishes from their pitchers as the season progresses.
