WASHINGTON, D.C. – Right-hander Luis Castillo pitched well in his big-league debut, but didn’t factor in the decision as the Reds’ bullpen blew a three-run lead and fell 6-5 in the 10 innings to the Nationals on Friday.
Box score: Nationals 5, Reds 5
Here are the main storylines from Friday’s game:
• Harper walks them off: Raisel Iglesias struck out the first two batters he faced in the 10th inning, but then gave up back-to-back singles to bring up the Nationals’ Bryce Harper.
With a full count, Harper lined a 97-mph fastball over the head of Scott Schebler in right field for the game-winner.
