A day removed from a 14-12 slugfest with the Chicago White Sox saw the Cincinnati Reds back in a low-scoring affair, this time with the Colorado Rockies at their home in Scottsdale. They also found themselves again on the losing end late in the game, as the Rockies got a walk-off 3-2 victory.
It was Luis Castillo’s turn to start, and while he was far from awful, he wasn’t nearly as effective as he’d been earlier in spring. His final line of 3.2 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 4 K is respectable enough, I suppose, but it doesn’t truly highlight how filthy his pitch repertoire was on the day.
