CINCINNATI -- Corey Dickerson belted a pair of solo home runs, and Nick Kingham backed it up with 6 2/3 strong innings to lift the Pirates, 6-2, over the Reds on Saturday night at Great American Ball Park. Pittsburgh has won eight in a row and is over .500 for the first time since June 6.

Dickerson has started the second half of the season on a tear. He has hit three home runs in two nights and has homered in three consecutive games for the second time in his career. The other time he did so was Aug.
