CINCINNATI -- On the heels of Luis Castillo's shortest start of his career, interim manager Jim Riggleman wished the right-hander could have his next start skipped so it would allow for two side bullpen sessions to make some mechanical corrections. But with the scheduled offday Thursday and Castillo's turn falling on Wednesday made skipping him impossible.
One bullpen session, however, did bring some needed improvement. Although he was on the hook for the Reds' 3-1 loss to the Brewers at Great American Ball Park -- with Christian Yelich hitting the go-ahead homer off him in the fifth inning -- Castillo pitched into the seventh.
