The Cubs have been playing decent at home, but the Reds have controlled them all year and that will definitely continue in this game as Castillo is the staff ace for the Reds and will control the game here and contain the Cubs offense. Hendricks, for his part has not been able to live up to the expectation that they would have expected to get on the season and that leads to him giving up some runs to the Reds hitters. Final Score, Cincinnati Reds win 5-3.
