• Castillo settled for a no-decision on Monday as he allowed two runs on four hits and five walks in five innings against the Dodgers in Los Angeles. The 26-year-old Dominican has issued 13 free passes over 24 2/3 frames this season but also has registered 32 strikeouts – at least seven in each of his four turns. Castillo has yet to defeat San Diego in his career, going 0-2 with a 5.17 ERA in three starts.

• Lauer will be making his fifth start of the season and first against a non-division opponent, as both of his victories came against San Francisco while each of his two losses came at the hands of Arizona. The 23-year-old native of Ohio is coming off a road loss to the Diamondbacks on Sunday in which he gave up three runs and eight hits over five innings. Lauer made two starts against Cincinnati as a rookie last year, going 1-0 while allowing one run and registering 12 strikeouts over nine frames.

• Padres 3B Manny Machado has hit safely in seven of his last eight games after recording two of his team’s four hits on Friday.

• Suarez has gone 2-for-19 over the first five games of Cincinnati’s road trip.
