Reds vs. Pirates Game Highlights (4/20/23) | MLB Highlights

Contreras will take the mound coming off a real strong start his last time out in St. Louis when six gave up a couple of earned runs struck out six digging in Jonathan India to get things started. Lifted right side. Carlos Santana TJ Friedel who's been on the base and 15 of 16 that looked like it had some kind of movement tying up Friedel two men around and now the batter is Spencer Steer. It's this high in the air to left center into the sun Reynolds and a good start for Ron see Contreras the twenty nine year old Luke Weaver makes his Reds debut. He's had a lot of injuries last few years really hasn't had a good full season in about three or four seasons. So this is a good chance for him to kind of rejuvenate his career. Hayes who has settled in nicely as the leadoff man for the pirates chop left side and that's going to get through. They want to try and pick up where they left off yesterday. Here's Brian Reynolds and a four pitch walk following the ground single by Hayes. It brings up Andrew McCutcheon. This could be some kind of start to this homestand. He sets and delivers and McCutcheon dribbles it towards first base and fielded by Vossler. He'll get it over to the pitcher Weaver covering for the out. He's to third Reynolds to second. Here's Connor Joe Reidy batter hitting a three forty. Riven deep to center field back sends down to the wall. Connor Joe pirates a three nothing lead back at PNC Park. It's just remarkable how he's driving the ball into the gaps. So Winski sends one to deep right field. This should clear the seats. Oh the very best. He's homered again. What a hell of a monster shot by so Winski back to back. It is for nothing. That's his fifth move over Lumber Company. These twenty three blocks are having some fun. Fraley comes in mired in quite a slump just one for his last twenty two over a seven game span. And he works a walk and now Tyler Stevenson will stand in. Wave in a Miss second K for Contreras runner goes from first that just throws strong and got him quick release from Hedges. They're going to check it out though. Fraley did he sneak his hand in there. And I would be surprised if the Reds are not going to take a look at that one. They are going to challenge call on the field is out caught stealing. I'm not so sure that he got Fraley on that one though. After a few of the call the field was overturned. The runners say Cincinnati retained the challenge struck him out Paul from Carlos Torres and the freeze frame by Hedges Jason Bossler did have a hit last time out. He's four for his last thirty nine and swing and a miss three straight strikeouts for Contreras. India popped out to begin this game to right field. Joe won't get there over his head. That's going to be extra bases for India to outrunner in scoring position for T.J. Friedel and a swing and a flyball first base way Santana almost right there and he'll make the catch and that ends the innings. Twenty one straight scoreless innings for the Red Sox. So it's you at a high arcing homerun to write his first time up pitch swing and a miss down goes to Wenske swing and a miss almost look casual for Weaver Bookend case and a perfect fourth. Jonathan India got a seventh double of the year his last time up payoff and he gets on the base. The table setter Jonathan India leadoff man reaches for the second time for the Reds and now T.J. Friedel will come to the plate. He's on the move swing and a miss sales in the center. They're going to call batters interference. They're going to call batters interference and they're going to get the double play. Yes sir. That's a nice break. Wow. Home plate umpire Carlos Torres called it right away. Sure did. It's a double play on batter interference intentional or not when you're leaning out over like that. Oh now how about the hedges. Maybe stole one there. Here's Spencer Steele swing and a foul tip struck him out on the slider. Reds haven't scored in twenty four consecutive innings comebacker by Fraley. He's on for a second time. Stevenson turned on a fastball up and in for a double his last time up and in. Stevenson walks to one. Nobody out. Will Myers will be the batter bounce left side by Hayes. Throw to second one by Santana saying sensational. That's a zip zap Kazoo as the Buccos just turn to batters left hander Jason Voss lowered Fraley now a third base two outs in the air. Center field in front of Selensky Fraley scores the Reds first hit in six and bats with a man in scoring position tonight. The Reds have snapped their scoreless streak and it ends at twenty four innings. Well the new pitcher Holland Haldeman weak Tapper Haldeman bare hand bouncing throw gets away. Barrera turns the right fielder Joe from the warning track to second and first slide that gets a win. But Reynolds able to pounce and shallow left and Barrera is at second base to ignite the eight. Now Jonathan India will stand in with a runner at second base. That whistles by Barrera races for third trouble on the bare hand for Hedges. So Barrera into third on the wild pitch far to grab ball right side base hit Barrera scores India's third knock at the night and the Reds creep within two. But I mean he's been hitting the ball all over the place and to the right side where he's got a little bit of some daylight drives that run in from third base and now TJ Friedel the runner on it first and nobody out. Far to grab ball pass by base hit India shuts it down at second. It's three straight hits for the Reds to spark the eight run in two on the go ahead run at the plate. Spencer Steers first action since Sunday he is over three so far tonight. Runners go double steal pitch in no chance for a throw. Excellent jumps by India and Friedel and the tying run is in scoring position. That's a blast to left to Twisted Reynolds Hopson catches the ball runners tag. India roars in throw to third no shot. India scores standing Friedel claims third sac fly RBI. It's a one run game. Here we go. Ninth inning and the pirates they've got the lead four to three over the Reds trying to make it four straight victories and they'll bring on the closer David Bettin. And there's out number one Vossler has a hit tonight singled and drove home the Reds first run tonight snapping the scoreless inning streak in the air to left Reynolds who made a fine catch last inning. And now the Reds are down to their final out now Nixon's L.O. for three tonight fly ball left field left center now and Bay Ray's the Jolly Roger. The jig is up the news is out as the Renegade saves it for Contreras. Pirates have won five of six twelve of seventeen.
