Blue Jays Lead Mariners 2-1, Castillo Exits Early
The Blue Jays are off to a strong start, leading the Mariners 2-1 in the third inning. They have an opportunity to extend their lead. Meanwhile, Luis Castillo's outing was cut short.
In the top of the third, Luis Castillo walked Alejandro Kirk, loading the bases with one out. This marked the end of Castillo's time on the mound, as he was removed after recording just seven outs. Gabe Speier entered the game for the Mariners, facing a challenging situation with Daulton Varsho at the plate and Ernie Clement on deck for the Blue Jays.
The identity of the Blue Jays' left-handed pitcher who followed Luis Castillo and batted against Varsho, as well as faced Clement, remains unclear from available search results.
The Blue Jays have a chance to capitalize on their 2-1 lead in the third inning. Meanwhile, the Mariners have turned to Gabe Speier to navigate a bases-loaded situation after Luis Castillo's early exit.
