Luis Castillo makes his season debut. As you might imagine he was fairly dominant in his two rehab appearances at Triple-A with a combined line of 8.0 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 5 BB, 12 SO. He went 3.2 IP in his first Triple-A rehab outing on April 29th, and 4.1 IP in his second on May 4th. I would assume the Reds have a strict pitch limit for Castillo today and would be a bit surprised if he lasted much beyond 5 innings.
Brandon Woodruff tallied 12 strikeouts against this Reds team last Tuesday, can he be yet another Brewers starter to accomplish the double-digit strikeouts in back-to-back outings?
