Reds Beat Pittsburgh, 6-5
Pittsburgh got a terrific game from designated hitter Yordan Alvarez. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Cincinnati, 6-5. Alvarez went 3-4 with a home run and a double, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Cincinnati pitcher Ben Rowen got the win, upping his record to 4-6. Hudson Helton got the loss. The second-place Reds have won 7 consecutive games.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Cincinnati left fielder Brandon Soleimani, facing Gunnar Graham, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Reds the 6-5 win.

"Nice to tuck this win away," said Soleimani.
