Since dropping five of their first six after the All-Star break, the Pittsburgh Pirates have rounded back into the form that they used to ascend to the third best team in all of Major League Baseball. The Bucs, winners of five of their last six against the Nationals and Twins and owners of a 59-41 mark after 100 games, look to win their first contest in the confines of Great American Ball Park when they face National League Central rival Cincinnati Reds. The Reds (45-54) took all three games from the Pirates in the first series of the season the last time they were in Cincinnati, and have won 9 of the last 11 games between the two clubs in Cincinnati.
