Luis Castillo stifled by Astros in tough loss
by Chris Schommer | Mariners Correspondent | Sat, Jul 20th 7:17am EDT
Luis Castillo took the mound for the Mariners and delivered a solid performance, albeit in a losing effort, as he allowed three earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out three over seven innings in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Astros.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the defeat, Castillo's outing was a decent display of control and efficiency, maintaining his season-long stability. His ERA slightly rose to 3.55, and his WHIP held steady at 1.16, reflecting his consistent ability to manage baserunners. However, his fantasy managers might be slightly concerned with his modest strikeout total, which continues to hover around the lower end of his season average. Moving forward, Castillo remains a reliable starter, but his lack of dominant strikeout performances could limit his ceiling in fantasy formats that heavily reward strikeouts.
