The Pittsburgh Pirates return home for the start of a seven game homestand, taking on the Cincinnati Reds tonight at 6:35 PM. The Pirates played the Reds to open the season, dropping the series 2-1.
The two teams will play a four game series this weekend. Cincinnati has struggled on the road, with a 1-5 record thus far. The Pirates, meanwhile, are returning home off a 5-2 road trip, with a .500 record at PNC Park. I highlighted their road success thus far as one of three signs that they might be a good team.
