Romano inducing weak contact but the balls are finding holes. It happens. Combine that with an errant throw from Duvall and you've got a couple runs on the board.

damn, McCutchen robs Peraza of extra bases

Nothing going right for Big Sal so far.

4-0 Pirates after 3. No walks or HRs yet allowed by Sal, mostly just a bunch of base hits. Live and die by contact.

Keep running Sal out every 5th day. He has 2 months to show he belongs.

Down early. Bad prescription for the Reds. They've won the series, but I've enjoyed switching over to AT&T Sports Net to see the Pirate TV guys cry.

Scooter's looking pretty rough at the plate lately. Seems to be pressing a bit.

It's a Pirates game thread, so I feel like someone should point out just how overrated Gregory Polanco is. For some reason, standing near McCutchen and Marte managed convince people he must be good too, and he's not.

He was good last year and is still young enough that you can dream for more but yeah he's not a superstar or anything.

I know folks on RedsZone will flip out, but Alcantara should start at 2B against the next LH starter, just to give Scooter a break.

He's very athletic, and he looks like he was sculpted out of marble.

But yeah. "Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane."

He's the guy they should have traded for way more than he's worth.

Billy gets himself tossed arguing balls and strikes.. It was a bad call.

Can't wait for robot umps.

We won't be losing ball players who get ejected because of the inconpetence of these guys.

But you know, we need the "human element".

No idea how Peraza didn't catch that.

Sal looked a lot better in the 4th and 5th. Still 4-0 Buccos after 5.

I think that ejection is partially Price's fault. When Billy started jawing at the ump, Price should have come out and made Billy go to the dugout.

That hurt, and I think you're right. He usually does that, but the umpire had a quick hook also.

Reds not offering much resistance to Chad Kuhl.

Forearm discomfort for Disco

He's gonna wind up having to need TJ. For the love

Nothing but bad news tonight. Disco injured again, Billy tossed and losing this game against a pitcher with nearly a 5 ERA. Depressing

1-2-3 inning for Big Sal after Geno makes a slick play on the grounder that ricocheted off of Sal's leg.

Tom Servo

Damn, great play by Suarez to finish the 6th. Probably it for Romano, and not a bad effort all things considered.

Damage control is a huge part of being an MLB caliber starter. He didn't melt down even though they got him for two crooked numbers and wound up turning in a respectable, if not unspectacular start.

I can dig it.

4 runs from Sal isn't great, but no walks on 6 innings is

Tom Servo

Not looking great for Peraza to keep that mini hit streak alive.

I am more than ready for computer called balls and strikes. Every game I see clear misses, that seem to hurt the Reds more than they help.

For all who thought Price was trying to win games, he must have received the notice from on high. Put Shackelford in. Deed done.

Who should he have brought in? Trailing 4-0, three inning left to cover.

Iglesias pitched two innings last night, Lorenzen pitched 1.1 innings last night.

Three innings left to cover.

He manages every game they have a lead like game 7 and every game they're losing like they would never win lol

Peralta for three innings? Blake Wood?

The reds won 2-3 in a rival division opponents ballpark. It's not the end of the world.

Tonight's Joe Nuxhall Star of the Game is Pirates righthander Chad Kuhl, who pitched 7 innings allowing no runs on 4 hits with 6 K's to earn the win.

On pace for 66-96.
