Mariners' Luis Castillo gets 100% real on clutch effort vs. Jose Altuve, Astros
The post Mariners' Luis Castillo gets 100% real on clutch effort vs. Jose Altuve, Astros appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Seattle Mariners earned a big 6-1 victory against the Houston Astros on Friday night. Starting pitcher Luis Castillo struck out seven hitters across 6.2 scoreless innings. He also contained Astros star Jose Altuve, recording a big strikeout against him early in the contest with runners on base. 'That one strikeout was the key to kind of get out of that inning with some traffic out there. So I think just going out, being able to battle, get out of there was definitely key for here in this game,' Castillo said via an interpreter, per Daniel Kramer of Castillo, 32, has pitched to a 3.21 ERA across 115 innings of work. The Mariners starting pitcher has also recorded 100 strikeouts in his 20 outings. He has been impressive. The Mariners need Castillo to continue to pitch at a high level. Castillo was mentioned in trade rumors before the 2025 season. It is difficult to imagine Seattle moving on from the veteran right-handed pitcher at this point, however. Following Friday's win, the Mariners only trail the Astros by four games in the American League West standings. Not only is Seattle a serious division contender, but the Mariners are in prime position to at least make an American League Wild Card run. The Mariners and Astros will finish their three-game set with two more games over the weekend. Houston is trying to make a statement, but Seattle is not going to back down. The Mariners' 6-1 win on Friday evening was a tremendous way to begin the series as they attempt to climb back in the division standings. Seattle will host Houston on Saturday night at 8:40 PM EST in Game 2 of the series. Lance McCullers Jr. will get the ball for the Astros while Logan Evans will try to lead the Mariners to a second consecutive victory against the division rival.

Mariners make up ground in AL West with win over Astros
July 19 - Luis Castillo pitched 6 2/3 scoreless innings while Randy Arozarena and Mitch Garver each homered to lead the Seattle Mariners past the visiting Houston Astros 6-1 on Friday night in both teams' first game after the All-Star break. The Mariners posted their fourth consecutive victory and pulled within four games of the Astros, who lead the American League West. Houston lost for the sixth time in its past seven games. Castillo (7-5) won his third straight start. The veteran right-hander allowed three hits -- back-to-back singles to lead off the third by Mauricio Dubon and Brice Matthews as well as a one-out single by Victor Caratini in the seventh. Castillo walked two and struck out seven. Arozarena gave the Mariners the lead with a solo shot to left field with two outs in the fourth off Houston starter Brandon Walter (1-3). It was the 10th homer in the past 14 games for Arozarena, who participated in the All-Star Game earlier this week in Atlanta. That was the only run Walter allowed over six innings. The lefty, making just his eighth career start, gave up three hits, walked one and fanned seven. Garver gave Seattle a 2-0 lead with a homer to straightaway center with two outs in the seventh off reliever Bennett Sousa. The Mariners, who had won their previous three home games by shutouts, had their scoreless streak at T-Mobile Park snapped at 36 innings in the eighth. Matthews drew a leadoff walk off reliever Matt Brash and scored on Isaac Paredes' double to left-center. Brash rebounded to strike out Cam Smith and got Jose Altuve and Christian Walker to fly out to shallow right field to get out of the inning. The Mariners added four insurance runs in the bottom of the eighth. After drawing a leadoff walk off Steven Okert and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by fellow rookie Ben Williamson, Cole Young scored on J.P. Crawford's single to left field. Hector Neris relieved Okert and walked Julio Rodriguez before Cal Raleigh lined a run-scoring single to right. After Raleigh stole second, Arozarena was intentionally walked, setting the table for a Donovan Solano sacrifice fly to left to score Rodriguez. Raleigh then came home on a wild pitch to provide the final score. --Field Level Media
