Look, the Washington Nationals are good. Really, really good. Their lineup is as deep and well-rounded as any in the game, featuring an enviable combination of power, speed, youth, and a deep bench.
Luis Castillo ran into that with full force on Saturday, as the Nats touched him up for 6 ER in just 5 IP, with Adam Eaton running roughshod around the bases and both Matt Adams and Trea Turner launching homers alongside him. Castillo’s velocity was still as excellent as we’ve come to expect, and his changeup was again an effective swing-and-miss pitch, but he struggled to locate his pitches for most of the day - and that bit him consistently.
