The Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Cincinnati Reds 8-3 in a game at Great American Ball Park, with Oneil Cruz and Ryan O'Hearn and Bryan Reynolds each hitting back-to-back home runs. The win helped Pittsburgh level their three-game set with the Reds, who saw their three game losing streak halted. Reds starter Brandon Williamson surrendered Cruz's first homer, O'hearn's three-run shot, and Reynolds' solo blast. The Pirates' defense was solid, allowing only one run on one hit through the first seven innings. The Reds' starting pitcher, Chase Burns, struggled with his command and issued six walks.
