Money Line: 111.00 Cincinnati (Away)
Result: Win
Cincinnati at Pittsburgh 7:05 ET
Reds over Pirates- It was three short weeks ago when the Pirates move 2-games over .500 and the feeling was that they were ready to make their move on the NL Wild Card. But, things being what they are Pittsburgh has seen those thoughts disappear as they have dropped 13 of their last 18 and have fallen 10-game out of the hunt. Tonight this is a rematch of last Saturday's encounter when Pittsburgh's Gerrit Cole (11-8, 3.99 ERA) not only shut out the Reds for seven innings but supplied the lone run scored with a home run. Luis Castillo (2-7, 3.26) lost despite allowing just three hits and that lone run while striking out a season high nine batters. Cole entered that contest 0-6 lifetime against Cincinnati and now has one win. The Reds get it back tonight. Take CINCINNATI!
