GOODYEAR, Arizona – Luis Castillo’s fourth start of the spring was a rough one.
Castillo cruised through the first three innings. But things went awry in the fourth: Single, triple, single, strikeout, double, pop out and single. That was it. Castillo went 3 u2154 innings and allowed seven hits, four runs and a walk while striking out four in the Reds’ 10-2 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks in the home half of a split-squad doubleheader..
Castillo, the presumptive Opening Day starter, has struggled more than anyone in the rotation. On the spring, he's’ gone nine innings and allowed nine runs on 16 hits.
