all reports were that we got he threw the ball quite well while he was down there yeah he had a couple of starts in Louisville uh both starts he pitched at least six Innings one he went into the seventh and all of those were less than 100 pitches Brian Reynolds comes up amazing 22 game hit streak that batting average 360 he’s hit six home runs he’s driven in 16 now we anticipate every time he comes to the plate one is swinging a liner towards Center falling fast and down for a base hit not wasted any time again 23 games in a row Brian Reynolds has hit safely I like it when he takes care of it in his first H bat no waiting around just go ahead and get you a pitch up go ahead and get the suspense over with the pitch he bounces this on one hop to steer to De La Cruz one back to First that is a three 6-3 inning ending double play it’s a beautiful thing we go to the bottom of the first Pates nothing Red’s coming up now Cincinnati will come to bat in the home half of the first inning and Luis Ortiz makes his first start of the Season yeah see the big righty coming on he’s three and two he does have one save Reds come to bat Jonathan India leads It Off full nine from Rally House

out slider up and in down on strike akes Nick Gonzalez and there’s one gone here in the second the pitch Hayes bounces it to India he’ll come in to field it they’ll go to Second and get the out there

getting down and Jack swinsky will give the Pirates the lead sininsky with two strikes singles home Hayes Ashcraft back out for his third inning of work renz are trailing the Pirates here early in this one Brian Reynolds and he lays that one right on the edge yeah not much you’re going to do with this pitch right here as a true Sinker 97 down and Away O’Neal Cruz struck him out and there’s the fire beginning the bottom of the third Pirates lead one to nothing over the Reds to Right Center read by Joe they can’t get there pops on in there’s a lead off hit Jonathan India is spraying the ball

give the Bucks the lead again third of the season for the red hot Rowdy when a hitter gets hot especially a hitter a power hitter like Rowdy tles it’s just a matter of time until the home runs start coming Pirates Two Reds one Graham Ashcraft to Jason delay flyball toward the line and left droping and it is down and yes indeed Jason delay into second base with a double nicely placed now Andrew McCutchen after the leadoff double ball to center field hit deep back Fairchild to the wall and clear the deck cannon ball coming it’s Andrew McCutchen his 11th home run talk about it often still has that good bat speed you throw him a center cut fast ball at 94 he’s going to hit number 11 on the year against you Luis Ortiz here in the fifth inning standing at 63 pitches plenty of room to give him at least five today well he is looking good here in his first start of the year five strikeouts here’s the pitch strike three call right at the knees a new season High six strikeouts for orti he’s doing it multiple ways too right there after the breaking ball down to Leon stto he then freezes him with that Force seamer right at the knees Pirates four Reds one Nick Gonzalez will lead it off against Graham Ashcraft and it’s a line drive into right center field on that cut fast ball honor Joe the double that snapped his hitless at bat drought oh yeah absolutely the broken bat and Nick Gonzalez reading it beautifully into third Gonzalez align single to Center Hayes lined out to Center Joe broken bat single to Center saw Willie in Monday’s ball game against these Pirates he pitched an inning gave up a couple of hits Jason delay and Joe takes off ground ball that’s a fair ball inside the bag Jason delay going to come up with another huge double two more runs how about Jason delay

returns for the bottom of the sixth here’s the pitch swing going to miss struck about tying a career high seven strikeouts for Luis Ortiz he’s looked good he’s had that fast ball at the top of the Zone working he’s thrown a couple of two seamers down I mentioned his starts in his career 19 starts going six Innings or more just three times make it four times Louis Ortiz one of the best starts of the Year by a Pirates pitcher today Alexis Diaz has not pitched all that much just two appearances two innings since the 14th of June but the game dictates espol beand tough play just got it Dynamite defense from Santiago ESP ball has a little spin on it too ESP with the no glove great play strike three called got him looking fast ball on the outside corner it might have just barely kissed the edge Reynolds didn’t think so Pirates go to the bullpen they’ll bring on former red closer that would be aalis Chapman Chapman 0 and three on the year with a even four er this will be his 34th appearance 45 strikeouts in his 27 Innings and now Tyler Stevenson from Chapman Stevenson swings and misses he struck him out out 102 mph from aalis Chapman in his return to Cincinnati and the Pirates
