Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Luis Castillo dominates in 2-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday.
SEATTLE — Strong pitching has been the backbone of the Seattle Mariners throughout this season, and that continued to be the case in a 2-1 win against the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday.
"That was just an awesome outing," Mariners manager Scott Servais said in a postgame interview. "Mixing all of his pitches, he made a little adjustment to his slider. We saw the speed variation off that pitch. It's usually a pitch he throws 87, 88 . Tonight it was coming off 82, 83. ... I thought that the speed variation between the slider and the fastball really helped him tonight. He was on top of his game.
" we were doing some work," Castillo said via a translator in a postgame interview Friday. "My pitching coach went up to me and asked me 'how do you hold your slider?' I showed it to him and he told me 'Why not try it this way?' I did it, I threw it, I threw it and it gave us results. I think I liked it. ... It helps a lot."Seattle's two runs came in the bottom of the third after Luke Raley hit a two-run double.
