Antonio José Castillo [cas-TEEL-lyo] (born March 1, 1963 in Quíbor, Lara State, Venezuela) is a former Major League Baseball left-handed relief pitcher who played for the Toronto Blue Jays (1988-89, 1993-96), Atlanta Braves (1989-91), New York Mets (1991) and Chicago White Sox (1996-98).

In 430-game career, Castillo compiled a 28-23 record with 333 strikeouts and a 3.93 ERA in 526 innings.

[edit] Interesting Fact

Castillo was once credited with a loss and a save for the same game. He was on the hook for the loss as the pitcher for the Blue Jays against the White Sox when the game was rained out and postponed until later in the season. During that time, however, Castillo was traded to the White Sox and came in to close out the game and pick up the save.
