CINCINNATI — Starlin Castro respects 90.

The Cubs' All-Star shortstop is in the midst of another very good season, playing at a high level on a winning team for the first time in his career.

Castro is hitting .329 and has played a solid shortstop, including some highlight-reel plays of late. He had another "Web Gem" Sunday afternoon, diving to his right and making a throw from his knees to get Reds outfielder Brennan Boesch in the sixth inning.

But it actually was Castro's groundout in the ninth that really impressed manager Joe Maddon.
