July 5 (UPI) -- Cincinnati Reds All-Star pitcher Luis Castillo flirted with his first career-no hitter Thursday, but settled instead for a one-hit gem against the rival Milwaukee Brewers.
Castillo struck out nine and walked one hitter across 7 2/3 innings in the Reds' 1-0 victory over the Brewers at Great American Ball Park. The 26-year-old ace's only blemish was Keston Hiura's one-out single in the top of the seventh inning.
