The Cincinnati Reds will be home to play the Miami Marlins on Wednesday night. The Marlins beat the Reds 2-1 on Tuesday to improve to 46-51. Cincinnati is now 37-59 following their defeat. Cincinnati has been great at home recently, winning seven of nine at Great American Ballpark. Miami has been excellent on the road, though, as they've won 10 of their last 14 away from home.
"Final." - Marlins
Cincinnati will trot out Luis Castillo for Wednesday's matchup. He is 3-4 with a 2.77 ERA. He'll face an awful Marlins lineup that scores the seventh-fewest runs per game in the majors. Castillo threw seven frames in his last start, giving up two hits and one earned run while fanning eight versus the New York Yankees.
Trending
Castillo has been lights out, carrying a 1.00 ERA in his last four outings heading into this one. The Reds' righty has been linked to many teams in trade rumors, so he'll essentially be auditioning for other clubs on Wednesday.
"Today is more than likely the last time our beloved Luis Castillo will start a game in a Cincinnati #Reds uniform..." - Nati Sports
Braxton Garrett, who is 2-3 with a 3.42 ERA, will be taking the hill Wednesday for Miami. He'll be trying to navigate a Reds lineup that ranks 25th in OPS on Wednesday. Lately, the left-hander has been even better, having allowed just one earned run in his last 12 innings.
The Miami left-hander has been pretty good in recent starts, but he'll have to deal with the stadium that sees the most homers. If Garrett can keep the ball in the yard, he should be in line for another strong outing.
