Reds crush five homers, back ace Luis Castillo in 14-0 rout of Marlins


The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
All that pent up optimism that you had when the Cincinnati Reds entered spring training healthy, refreshed, and flexed took a major hit over the last few weeks. It sure as hell did for me, at least, with the cascade of crap news regarding Alex Wood, Nick Senzel, Nick Senzel’s ankle, Scooter Gennett, and Hunter Greene coupled with the awful 1-8 start to the season making me wonder if there was something bigger at work with these Reds.
If ever there was a juice cleanse of a game, though, tonight’s outing against the Miami Marlins may well have been it.
The entire damn Reds went nuts. Luis Castillo? Nuts. Jesse Winker? Nuts! Back to back to back dingers from Matt Kemp, Eugenio Suarez, and Scott Schebler? NUTS! Tucker Barnhart had 2 hits and 3 walks, Jose Peraza had 2 hits and scored, Joey Votto doubled and scored twice, KYLE FARMER HONKED ANOTHER DINGER, and ever single position player who played reached base at least once on the evening in a complete thumping of the fish from Florida.
All told, though, I suppose Castillo deserves some additional dap, as he posted his third consecutive ace-esque start to begin the 2019 season. He fired 7 innings of 2 hit, no run ball against his former club, fanning 8 and limiting the Marlins to just a lone walk – and walks had been the only minor bugaboo plaguing him in his previous two outings of 2019. That’s a sparkling 0.92 ERA to start the season, which is delicious.
