"The homer I give credit to the hitter.  It was a really good pitch and he put a good swing on it,"Castillo said through interpreter, Julio Morillo. "I got ahead to quick.  I slowed my tempo down. I'm happy with what I did tonight."

"I thought Castillo threw the ball well," David Bell said.  "I think he is trying to get his feel.  He's getting there he's getting closer.  He is close on his fastball. He's not there yet.  I'm sure he's happy with his changeup."
