The Pittsburgh Pirates were hoping to avoid a double-digit losing streak and being swept at the hands of the St. Louis Cardinals, and it was Bryan Reynolds who stepped up to make sure it didn’t happen.
Reynolds tripled in the first to get things moving for the Buccos and then later scored off of a Daniel Vogelbach groundout to give Pittsburgh an early 1-0 lead that quickly jumped to 4-0 Bucs.
And then after the Cards battled back to tie the game, Reynolds hit a two-run shot in the seventh to give Pittsburgh the 6-4 lead, which they would never relinquish to get the win.
