PHILADELPHIA – Luis Castillo was electric for most of his start Saturday, throwing the fastest pitches of his career and fooling Philadelphia Phillies hitters with his change-up.
It was all overshadowed by Matt Moore, who was making a spot start for the Phillies because two other starters are working their way back from the 10-day injured list.
The left-handed Moore entered with a 6.79 ERA in 50 1/3 innings. It was his first start since July 27 when he gave up seven hits and six runs across four innings.
That’s not the version of Moore the Reds saw at Citizens Bank Park in front of a crowd of 25,100.
