Castillo set down 10 Brewers via strikeout Wednesday, helping the Reds to an easy win and sweep of the once division-leading Brew Crew.
Castillo is flashing front-of-the-rotation potential that the Reds haven’t seen from any of their other starters. He was the first Reds starter to get through seven innings with 10 strikeouts and no walks since Johnny Cueto in 2014.
Luis Castillo puts a bow on his rookie season with a
🔟 K performance. 🔥

What a final start by Luis Castillo. What a 2017 by him. This kid is a superstar in the making. I'm SO excited to watch him in 2018.
