We’re spoiled to the point where seeing Luis Castillo allow 2 ER in 6.2 IP actually raises his season ERA to a still-sparkling 1.45.
Castillo fanned 7, walked 3, and allowed just 5 hits in his 99 pitch outing, at times looking as dominant as he has ever been while also laboring just a bit, too. Still, on a night where he wasn’t at his absolute best for the duration, it was the kind of performance against a Mets roster with plenty of punch that was enough to make you smile.
