Castro then hit for pitcher Danny Graves and launched a 1-1 pitch into the left field stands. It was Castro's first homer since Aug. 17.

Valentin and Adam Dunn also homered for Cincinnati, which erased an early 3-0 deficit.

Graves (1-2) allowed two hits in two scoreless innings to notch the win. His effort capped a big effort by the Cincinnati bullpen, which combined on 5 2/3 scoreless innings after starter Jose Acevedo had to leave with a blister in the fifth inning.
