Dennis Castillo wanted minutes with the Rapids.
That was the defender’s primary focus coming into this season, his second year in Major League Soccer. He played sparingly as a rookie. Then the beginning of this season was spent on loan to the United Soccer League. He craved time on the pitch with the Rapids’ top dogs; minutes spent helping the team win on the field, not cheering from the sideline.
That hope has slowly come to fruition. He started the last three games for the Rapids, who are off until next Saturday.
“I feel that it’s just been a process that has been building up,” Castillo said.
