What was he building outside the dugout?
's 3–2 extra-inning win over the Mariners, NESN cameras panned to Castillo to find him doing something goofy in the dugout. The 31-year-old starter had dug some sort of an oval in the dirt and was planting sunflower seeds around the border.When a teammate rolled a baseball in his direction to try to destroy his creation, Castillo stopped the baseball just in time, looked around and broke into a big smile. He then got right back to working on his masterpiece.
In 23 starts this year, Castillo has registered a 9–10 record, 3.43 ERA and 8.6 strikeouts per nine innings. He also apparently has a passion for sunflower seed agriculture.Tom Dierberger is a staff writer and editor on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
