Castillo earned his first save of the season, striking out two in one inning of work in a 4-3 win Saturday in Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Castillo pitched a perfect ninth as the Mariners came back to win against the Twins. Drew Streckenrider was given the save opportunity in the season opener but Castillo was called upon to close out Saturday's game. The 28-year-old primarily served as a setup man after being traded to Seattle in mid-2021 and is in the mix to receive save chances. Time will tell who manager Scott Servais will rely on most in save situations.
