Luis Castillo dominates Giants for fourth win Friday
by Elliott Baas | Mariners Correspondent | Sat, May 11th 11:28am EDT
Luis Castillo fired six scoreless innings and improved to 4-1 in the Reds' 7-0 win over the Giants on Friday. He allowed two hits, five walks, and struck out 11.
Fantasy Impact:
So, this is what happens when an MLB ace faces a Triple-A lineup. The five walks are a little alarming, but that can be forgiven after a start like this. Giants hitters just weren't swinging, as Castillo had a 42.7% swing rate in this game. He also had a 28.2% zone rate, which was his lowest of the season. He'd been doing better with reigning in the walks, so his control will be something to watch in his next few starts. His next start comes Thursday vs. the Cubs.
