The Pittsburgh Pirates (12-15) will try to avoid the sweep this evening as they host the Cincinnati Reds (14-13) in the finale of their three-game series at PNC Park.
The Bucs were shut out Wednesday 3-0 by the Reds, but came close to getting a run off Cincinnati starter Mike Leake in the seventh.
With two runners aboard and two outs, Gregory Polanco hit a ground ball toward first base and proceeded to run down the line. Leake fielded the ball and went for the force out at first, but his toss hit Polanco in the back.
