Castillo struck out two batters and didn’t give up much if any hard contact, despite the two hits on his line. Credit to Cleveland’s minor-leaguers and fringe NRIs tasked with facing Castillo this game even as he was only throwing 93-94 as he’s still ramping up, that can’t be an easy assignment, and they Did Their Best (insert “you tried” gif). In the second, he also gave up a “double” to Meibrys Viloria, on a ball the wind took away from J.P. Luis Castillo pitched two solid innings he did give up a couple of walks, including walking the first batter he saw, and suffered some poor luck on an especially windy day in Peoria, as a routine flyout in the first became a wind-aided double (Dave Sims called it a “retro rocket” which I lobby to become a more common broadcast cliché) which, one productive out later, became a run for Cleveland. The good part again is the Mariners won this game eventually! The other bad part of today’s game is it was a radio-only broadcast (which will be airing on tape delay on 710 later), so we didn’t get the full experience of Luis Castillo and Bryce Miller’s spring debuts. The bad news is things fell apart in the sixth inning, but. The good news about this game is the Mariners starters did what they were supposed to do against Cleveland’s split squad B-team, racking up an 8-1 lead.
