Sometimes it’s the stars of the team who get the job done and on Saturday night in Cincinnati that’s exactly what happened as Luis Castillo struck out nine batters in seven innings and Jesse Winker homered and drove in four runs as the Reds picked up their 6th straight win over the Cardinals. Cincinnati has now won the series against St. Louis and they can go for the sweep tomorrow.

The Offense
The Reds got their offense started in the 1st inning when Jonathan India walked and Jesse Winker and Tyler Naquin singled to load the bases with one out, but two fly outs left the bases stranded.
