Luis Castillo strikes out 10 in seven innings as the Chicago White Sox beat the Cincinnati Reds 5-0 on Wednesday night. Chicago’s offense supports the start, while Castillo allows one hit—Sal Stewart’s single in the first—and records two walks.
The pitcher’s performance follows a difficult outing in his prior White Sox start, when he was tagged for five runs over four innings at Boston last week. This time, he helps deliver Chicago’s shutout. Both outlets describe the same key lines: Castillo’s 10 strikeouts, one-hit allowed pitching, and the Reds being held scoreless as Chicago wins by five.
Context for the matchup includes Castillo’s recent acquisition by Chicago in an Aug. 1 trade with Seattle. Yahoo Sports adds that this is his first win with the White Sox, framing his turnaround since the earlier Boston start.
