Diamondbacks 2, Reds 0
PHOENIX -- Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Welington Castillo homered and right-hander Chase Anderson pitched seven scoreless innings in his return from the disabled list in the Diamondbacks' 2-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds at Chase Field on Friday.
Castillo's bases-empty, seventh-inning home run, which gave Arizona a 2-0 lead, was his seventh homer in his last 11 games. Castillo has 12 homers since joining the Diamondbacks in a trade with Seattle on June 3, and his 14 homers are a career high.
Anderson (5-4) gave up four hits and retired the last eight batters he faced in his first start since July 18, when he was placed on the disabled list with right triceps inflammation. He struck out seven and walked two.
Arizona left fielder David Peralta singled in right fielder Ender Inciarte in the first inning against Reds right-hander Raisel Iglesias (2-4).
First baseman Joey Votto had the Reds' only extra-base hit, a double in the first inning, and also walked twice. He has reached base via hit or walk 56 times in his last 19 games.
Right-hander Brad Ziegler had his 20th save for the Diamondbacks (53-55), who have won three of five.
Iglesias, who signed a seven-year contract with the Reds in July 2014 after emigrating from Cuba, gave up three hits and walked one while striking out six. He has 26 strikeouts in his last 24 innings over four starts.
The Reds (48-59) have lost four of five.
Inciarte grounded a single to right field to open the bottom of the first inning before center fielder A.J. Pollack walked. Inciarte took third on first baseman Paul Goldschmidt's flyout to right field and scored on Peralta's single.
Iglesias got out of the inning with a double play grounder and retired the next 14 batters he faced.
Reds catcher Brayan Pena and shortstop Eugenio Suarez singled to open the fifth, but Iglesias bunted into a forceout at third base and the Diamondbacks got a double play when Iglesias was thrown out attempting to take second after an errant throw to first base.
NOTES: RHP Raisel Iglesias became the ninth straight rookie to start for the Reds. It is the longest consecutive stretch of rookie starters in the majors since Oakland used rookies for the final 14 games of the 2012 season. The trades of RHP Johnny Cueto and RHP Mike Leake left the Reds with five rookies in their rotation. ... Arizona 1B Paul Goldschmidt returned to the lineup after missing his first game of the season on Thursday, two days after ending an 0-for-15 stretch that included nine strikeouts. Goldschmidt still led the National League with 471 plate appearances. ... Arizona optioned RHP Allen Webster to Triple-A Reno to make room for RHP Chase Anderson when he returned from the disabled list to start Friday. ... Arizona's six-game homestand that began Friday includes three-game series against Cincinnati and Philadelphia and is bracketed by two 10-game road trips.
