The Pittsburgh Pirates have been searching for answers on offense the entire season. They didn’t find any against Cincinnati Reds starter Hunter Greene on Sunday.
Greene (2-1) threw 7.0 shutout innings, allowed a pair of hits and struck out eight as the Pirates (5-11) were shut out 4-0 at Great American Ball Park.
Santiago Espinal plated a pair for the Reds (8-8) in the bottom of the third with a single to right off Carmen Mlodzinski (1-2).
With runners on the corners in the bottom of the fifth, TJ Friedl hit a grounder to first baseman Endy Rodríguez. It looked like Rodríguez had a chance to throw home but hesitated and fired to second base instead. Noelvi Marte scored from third base and Friedl reached on a fielder’s choice.
