The Bucs lost 4-5 in a close game to the Reds tonight, who increased their division lead to 3 games. The Pirates scored off of a Walker single that scored Barajas, and a McCutchen three run homerun. Cueto had a great game, and Lincoln looked promising through 3 innings, but giving up 4 runs in the fourth did him in. After Lincoln was taken out Slaten and Hughes pitched four more scoreless innings. Chapman came in, to close it out for the Reds striking out Barajas on a smoking 101 MPH pitch
The Pirates record now stands at 28-27 one game over .500 and the Pirates will look to take the series tomorrow. The Reds also improved their record against the Bucs to 12-5 in the last 17 matchups. Overall, it was a decent game for the Pirates, Hague went 0-4 again but Presley seems to be regaining some of what we saw last year.
