Huge Mike Moustakas homer turns tides for Reds in 9-4 win over Pirates

Shogo Akiyama was on-base three more times, and that was awesome.

Joey Votto socked a homer, and that’s always a joy-bringer.

Eugenio Suarez walked twice and scored twice, and that’ll make us all smile.

Brian Goodwin, too, made us all super duper happy with his 2-run smash.

Nobody, however, had nearly the impact that Mike Moustakas had on the back-end of the doubleheader between the Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates. Moose ejected a Nik Turley meatball over the CF wall in the Bottom of the 5th inning, doing so just minutes after the Pirates had socked a dinger of their own to take the lead and deflate most all of us.
