Diego Castillo Closes Out Thursday’s Win
2 years agoSeattle Mariners reliever Diego Castillo worked a scoreless ninth inning on Thursday to close out his team's 6-5 comeback win over the Rangers. With Paul Sewald picking up two saves during Wednesday's doubleheader, it was Castillo who got the call to close out his sixth game of the year in this one. The right-hander promptly retired the first two batters he faced on a groundout and a strikeout, but would allow Marcus Semien to reach second base after he took a comebacker off his hip and then recklessly threw the ball into left field. Castillo went on to intentionally walk Corey Seager before getting Adolis Garcia to fly out and end the game. Sewald is the clear favorite for saves in the M's pen, but Castillo will continue to pick up the scraps whenever he needs a night off.
