Cincinnati Reds (76-82) 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 4 14 1
O'Neill Whacks 2 Home Runs in 12-4 Win
The Pittsburgh Pirates topped the Cincinnati Reds by a score of 12-4. Leading the way was right fielder Tyler O'Neill. O'Neill belted 2 home runs. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3 for the Pirates. Pittsburgh reliever Sam Long picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Taj Bradley took the loss. Pittsburgh is now 73-85, Cincinnati 76-82.

Pittsburgh used a clutch at-bat from Ben Rice to capture the win. The catcher hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Pirates ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Rice told the Pittsburgh Gazette.
