Recent Form

In their most recent contest, the Reds fell to the Pirates by a score of 8-3. In the game, Chase Anderson last just 4 innings but kept the team in the game as he gave up just 1 run. However, the Pirates were able to get after the Reds bullpen, scoring a combined 6 runs in the 7th and 8th innings. This loss is part of a larger trend, as the team has gone just 3-7 over their last 10 games. Throughout the season, the Reds have struggled on the road, putting together a mark of just 29-47.

Like the Reds, the Pirates have not been playing good baseball of late, as they also have just won 3 times over their last 10 games. However, one of these wins came last night, as the offense piled on the scoring late. Roansy Contreras lasted only 4 innings while giving up 2 runs. However, the bullpen came in and did an admirable job, giving up just 3 hits the rest of the way. This season, the Pirates have a record of just 30-46 at PNC Park.
