Cincinnati Reds 5 (16-30) • Chicago Cubs 4 (23-19)
Luis Castillo pitched five innings giving up one run. Castillo struggled a bit with his control, giving up four unintentional walks. He struck out four. Castillo loaded the bases in the first inning on two hits and a walk a before inducing a first-pitch double-play ball from Kyle Schwarber to escape without giving up a run. The only run Castillo did allow was on a mile-high pop-up single by Albert Almora Jr. that fell between Billy Hamilton and the infield. Kris Bryant followed with a double, knocking in Almora.
