Summary
Konnor Griffin blasted his first homer since returning from injury — a leadoff shot — sparking a three-homer night for the Pirates, but it wasn’t enough as they fell 6-4 to the Reds. Paul Skenes hit his 500th career strikeout in just his 72nd start, the fastest by a Pirate pitcher in over 100 years. Ozuna and Valdez tied the game with homers in the sixth, but Noelvi Marte’s two-run blast in the eighth gave the Reds the lead they wouldn’t relinquish. Despite the loss, Bryan Reynolds extended his MLB-record 31-game hitting streak. The Pirates head into Saturday’s rematch with the Reds.
