After a rain delay, the Pittsburgh Pirates jumped out to a quick 5-0 lead over the Cincinnati Reds, but the pitching staff couldn’t hold the lead and the offense dried up after a hot start, and the Buccos fell to the Reds 9-5.
Pittsburgh obtained their big lead through Yoshi Tsutsugo and Bryan Reynolds, who both hit solo homers in the first and then followed that up with RBIs in the third.
Pittsburgh’s final run came on a Kevin Newman force out, and that’s when the bottom fell out.
