Reds` bats unable to back Castillo`s solid effort
(MLB.com Cincinnati Reds)

On the heels of Luis Castillo`s shortest start of his career, interim manager Jim Riggleman wished the right-hander could have his next start skipped so it would allow for two side bullpen sessions to make some mechanical corrections. But with the scheduled off-day Thursday and Castillo`s turn falling on Wednesday made skipping him impossible. One bullpen session, however, did bring some needed improvement. Although he was on the hook for the Reds` 3-1 loss to the Brewers at Great American Ball Park, Castillo pitched into the seventh.
