Diaz drives in a pair of runs in Houston’s victory
Yainer Diaz drove in a pair in a victory over the Mariners on Friday. Diaz gave the Astros a 3-0 lead with a two-run single off Luis Castillo in the third inning. The backstop has driven in 51 runs while hitting 284 with a .719 OPS on the 2024 campaign.
Castillo struck out three over seven innings
Luis Castillo struck out three over seven innings of three-run baseball in a loss to the Astros on Friday. All three runs allowed by Castillo came in the third inning. That’s three more runs than Seattle scored, so it’s the 10th loss of the season for the 31-year-old. He didn’t have his best swing-and-miss stuff with only six whiffs against the Astros, but he pitched well enough to win. His team just didn’t hit nearly enough for that to matter. Castillo takes a 3.55 ERA into a start next week against the Angels.
