Reds over Padres- The Padres swept a 4-game series earlier this season against the Reds in San Diego and can sweep this 3-game set and the season series in Cincinnati with a win tonight. The Padres will go with left-hander Ryan Weathers (3-2, 2.47 ERA) who will make his ninth start and 15th appearance of the season. The Reds will counter with the hottest pitcher in their rotation as Luis Castillo (3-10, 5.14) gets the call in the series finale. The right-hander finished June with a 2-2 record and a 1.71 ERA in five starts. Over five starts in the month, he was 2-2 with a 1.71 ERA. One of the losses was to the Padres in a 3-2 game on June 20. Castillo surrendered three runs (two earned) in six innings. Take the REDS!
