Reds avoid a sweep with a 1-0 shutout win over the Pirates

The Cincinnati Reds offense didn’t get much done, but the one run they scored was more than the Pirates did on Thursday afternoon as Cincinnati avoided the sweep by shutting out Pittsburgh 1-0 behind another strong road start from Tyler Mahle.

The Offense

Cincinnati had a few baserunners through the first six innings of the game, but just like the Pirates, came up empty.
