A 50-minute rain delay wasn’t enough to hold the Pittsburgh Pirates down Monday night as they beat the Cincinnati Reds, 8-3, at PNC Park.
The Reds broke open the scoring in the first after Kyle Farmer drove in Jonathan India on a sac fly. T.J. Friedl added their second run in the third on a solo home run to right.
Mother Nature, however, couldn’t get enough of Tank Bowl 2022, so she forced the aforementioned delay in the bottom of the fourth. This would work in the Pirates’ favor, however, as, after the delay, they tied the game at two in the bottom of the fifth.
