CINCINNATI (AP) — The Reds completed a four-game sweep of Pittsburgh with a 1-0 win that keeps them in the postseason picture.
Luis Castillo threw seven shutout innings and Shogo Akiyama drove in the only run for Cinncinnati.
Castillo (3-5), coming off his first career complete game, retired nine of the last 10 batters he faced and gave up only three hits and a walk with 10 strikeouts.
Pittsburgh rookie J.T. Brubaker allowed a hit and a walk in four innings before the Reds pieced together a two-out rally in the bottom of the fifth on consecutive singles by Jose Garcia, Curt Casali and Akiyama, whose liner to left knocked in Garcia.
