Tonight’s game has a bit more intrigue than might normally be expected for loyal fans of a last-place team which has lost 11 of its last 12 games.
After weeks of watching a seemingly endless parade of starting pitchers who have little business on this or any major league team, a wave of change hopefully begins tonight. Twenty-four-year-old righthander Luis Castillo makes his major league debut, making the jump from Class AA Pensacola.
Tomorrow night, Homer Bailey returns for his first appearance since last August 28, and his ninth appearance in the last three seasons.
