At least the rain didn’t start until the Reds Hall of Fame induction ceremony was over.
After Anthony DeSclafani pitched a clean first inning, the Reds first 2 batters of the game drew walks. Joey Votto then hit into a double play; Eugenio Suárez hit a warning track fly out to end the inning.
From there, the game was all Pirates as they built a 5-0 lead until Curt Casali’s 2 run homer in the bottom of the seventh put the Red on the board. But that was it for the Reds.
The Pirates tacked on an ultimately unneeded insurance run in the 8th with the help of a Reds wild pitch to set the final margin.
