Castillo helps Reds reach highest win total since 2013 with victory over Dodgers
Final R H E Cincinnati Reds (77-71) 3 6 0 W: Castillo (8-15) L: Buehler (14-4) S: Lorenzen (4) The Reds came home after a brutal road trip running out of time to get their season turned around. The Reds played in a nearly flawless game in front of the home crowd against the might Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night.
Luis Castillo set the tone early and often with a dominant performance. He gave the Reds 6.1 innings of shutout baseball in arguably his biggest start of the season.
The man the Dodgers deemed unfit to play a big league shortstop came back to haunt them again. Kyle Farmer had two doubles, which ended up being part of all three runs scored on the evening.
