Freese, Moroff go deep in Pirates' spring finale

INDIANAPOLIS -- Cincinnati erupted for seven runs in the top of the third en route to a 13-6 victory over Pittsburgh before a sellout crowd of 14,352 on Saturday afternoon at Victory Field. It was the final Spring Training contest for both clubs.

Tucker Barnhart, who played at nearby Brownsburg (Ind.) High School, led the Reds by going 3-for-4 with two runs scored and one RBI. He registered a double in the second and singles in each of the next two innings. Barnhart received the start at catcher after Devin Mesoraco was a late scratch with hip soreness.
