Diego Castillo feels a hot stretch coming

CINCINNATI – Diego Castillo cannot see the future, but he is very in tuned to his skill set and his body.

In talking with Castillo on Friday afternoon, he felt the turnaround to his season coming imminently.

“I feel comfortable,” Castillo said. “At some point, probably starting today, some good things are going to happen.”

Unfortunately, the Friday game was postponed. However, in the doubleheader the next day, Castillo went 3-for-7 with his second home run of the season.

Castillo got off to a hot start in Spring Training and forced the Pirates to keep him on the roster to start the regular season, if there was any debate to be made.
