EDGE Analysis

The right-hander wasn't exactly dominant with his lowest strikeout total of the season, but he exited in line for the win before Cincinnati's bullpen surrendered two runs in the eighth inning. Castillo has a 3.91 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 31:6 K:BB through four starts (23 innings) and has a favorable matchup versus the Pirates on Sunday.
