Reds Recap: Reds rally in 9th, lose in 10th
Flushing Meadows in Queens, New York has been home to the New York Mets since 1964. Since then, the Mets produced six Cy Young Award winners: Tom Seaver (1969, 1973, 1975), Dwight Gooden (1985), R.A. Dickey (2012) and Jacob deGrom (2018) who the Reds face tomorrow night. It was hard not to reflect on that storied history as Luis Castillo pitched from that stage tonight. Yes, it’s just the last day of April. But it isn’t unreasonable to watch the 26-year-old Castillo perform and wonder whether he has a Cy Young season or two in him.
Castillo had a nice family and friends cheering section at Citi Field tonight. The guy in the front in the red sweatshirt is his brother.
