The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Luis Castillo has been pressed into this starting rotation, without any time at AAA, because, well this starting rotation has been bad (and hurt).
He’s not shied away from it, though. Through his first three starts, he’s not gone more than 5.2 innings pitched. Regardless, he was always challenging hitters with his electric fastball that always touches triple digits. He gave up at least 5 hits in each of those starts, but his workload increased each time.
It did tonight, too, but the fourth time around, Castillo absolutely dealt.
