Rain Halts Reds-Pirates Thriller

Rain interrupted a nail-biting, one-run baseball showdown between the Reds and Pirates, halting action in the eighth inning with the score tied 5-4. Manager Terry Francona made a pitching change, bringing in Pierce Johnson, just as skies opened up and no return time was given. The post-game kids’ bases run was canceled, leaving fans frustrated. The Pirates jumped out early with a four-run second inning, fueled by Tyler Callihan’s three-run homer, but the Reds battled back with timely hits from JJ Bleday and Tyler Stephenson. The Pirates regained the lead in the fifth on Ryan O’Hearn’s deep homer, setting the stage for a dramatic, weather-ruined finish.
