A spate of wildness crept into the arms of the Pittsburgh Pirates in the Bottom of the 6th inning in Great American Ball Park on Sunday, a wildness that helped coax the moribund Cincinnati Reds back to life.
Dillon Peters, who had not yet allowed a run this year, walked the bases loaded before Tommy Pham walked with them loaded to cut a Pirates lead to just 2-1, and the Pirates then turned to former Red Heath Hembree to clean up the damage. In a battle of former-former, though, it was former Pirate (and Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game) Colin Moran that got the job done, as he blasted a Hembree meatball deep into the sun deck beyond the RF wall for the 5th grand slam of his career.
