Luis Castillo was good. Very good, even.
For the second consecutive day, the Cincinnati Reds got the kind of start they hoped for from their high-powered starting rotation. But for the second consecutive day, it wasn’t enough when paired with a thoroughly impotent offense.
Castillo allowed a run in his 5.1 IP day, a cardinal sin while repping a club who cannot score. That run proved to be the difference, but it was hard to fault Luis on a day when he helped keep the lethal Atlanta offense off-tilt.
The Reds themselves mustered just 2 hits on the day, let alone pushing an actual run across the actual plate.
