Brandon Dixon clubbed his first career big league dinger, and that’s exactly the kind of thing that would’ve had ol’ Nuxy interested in chatting him up post-game.
Congrats, Brandon, and here’s to many more of those.
Key Plays
- The Pirates got the initial mark on the board in this one, plating a run in the Bottom of the 1st. Josh Harrison singled, Austin Meadows doubled, and a productive groundout by Starling Marte brought Harrison in, and the Reds trailed immediately, 1-0.
- Cincinnati leveled through Suarez in the Top of the 2nd, however, as the Reds 3B worked a 12 pitch at-bat before crushing a 96 mph meatball for a solo dinger over the CF wall.
