Reds drop brutal game in extra innings after brilliant start from Luis Castillo

The Reds got the scoring started thanks to some shaky defense from the Brewers in the second inning.

Kyle Farmer made them pay even more with a 2-out, RBI double with a base open and the pitchers spot up next.

Luis Castillo continued his 2021 resurgence. Castillo pitched six shutout innings with 8 strikeouts. Castillo’s now has a 1.76 ERA over his last 9 starts.

Things went downhill quickly in the 7th when Amir Garrett came in. He made a mistake pitch to pinch-hitter Tyrone Taylor, who hit a sharp single.
