MIAMI – If Cincinnati Reds pitcher Luis Castillo wanted to prove a point against his former organization, he made it heard loud and clear Friday.
He pitched a career-high 8 u2153 innings against the Miami Marlins, the first time he’s pitched into the ninth inning in his two-year career.
The only disappointing part for Castillo is that it ended in a 1-0 loss at Marlins Park. Marlins outfielder Isaac Galloway hit a walk-off double against Reds reliever David Hernandez in the bottom of the 10th inning.
Traded from Miami to the Reds in 2016, Castillo overpowered the Marlins and continued his dazzling September where he’s showcased his top-of-the-rotation potential.
