by Chris Schommer | Mariners Correspondent | Sat, Aug 24th 8:20am EDT
Luis Castillo racked up nine strikeouts but allowed five earned runs over six innings in the Mariners' 6-5 victory over the Giants on Friday.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the high strikeout total, Castillo was hit around, yielding six hits in his outing. This performance slightly tarnishes his otherwise solid season metrics, including a 3.66 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP. His ability to avoid walks was a positive takeaway, as he issued none during the game. Looking ahead, Castillo's high strikeout rate continues to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, though his susceptibility to the occasional rough outing can be a concern for risk-averse managers.
