Starlin Castro’s milestone home run puts Marlins ahead for good in 6-0 win

The Marlins (12-20) jumped ahead early and piled on late to defeat the Reds (8-25) Saturday night, 6-0.

Homerless through his first 31 games with the club, Starlin Castro earned his long-awaited 100th MLB home run with a two-run shot to one of the deepest parts of Great American Ball Park. And that’s all the support Caleb Smith would need—he dominated for the third consecutive start (5.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 7 K).

As chronicled in our KKKKKKKaleb Smith thread on Twitter, the left-hander got plenty of awkward, late swings from Cincinnati batters.
