Castillo wasn't sharp early. But slowed his delivery following a suggestion from pitching coach Pete Woodworth and retired nine of his final 10 batters.
Starter Luis Castillo #58 of the Seattle Mariners pitches in the first inning against the Los Angeles Angels at T-Mobile Park on June 2, 2024 in Seattle, Washington.
“The value of that guy in a starting rotation — all our guys are really good, super talented, but he's the rock. He's the anchor,” Seattle manager Scott Servais said.Castillo surrendered two hits on Taylor Ward's double in the first and Kyren Paris' broken-bat single in the third. It was his third occasion this season when he threw at least seven shutout innings while allowing three hits or less.
The Mariners had shut out the Angels for 19 straight innings before shortstop J.P. Crawford's first error of the season led to a run in the ninth on Zach Neto's two-out single. Before that, the Angels' only runs in the three games had come on Jo Adell's grand slam in the seventh on Friday. Angels starter Griffin Canning had his best performance of the season and nearly matched Castillo. Canning struck out four and walked one while pitching into the seventh inning for the first time this season.
