Last Game
The Reds broke their modest winning streak with a loss to the Pirates yesterday. The Reds remain in first place, but only by a half game. The win extended the Pirates’ win streak to 4 and brought their record to .500.

Next Game
Tonight at 7:05 p.m. the Reds and Pirates face off again in PNC Park. Homer Bailey (3-3, 4.19 ERA) goes up against Charlie Morton (2-5, 4.27 ERA).
