The Pirates are 7-2 against the Reds this season, and they'll hope their ace can deliver another win against their division rival.

However, Friday's starter Kevin Correia hasn't fared well at his home park.

Correia is 2-8 with a 7.58 ERA in 12 games (11 starts) at PNC Park, compared to a 10-3 mark and 2.64 ERA in 14 road outings.

Coming off series loss to the Nationals, the Reds will counter with Homer Bailey, who has yet to face Pittsburgh this season, but is 5-0 with a 1.52 ERA in six career starts against the Pirates.

Correia has fared well against the Reds lately, recording a 2.93 ERA in winning his last four starts, but this will be his first time facing them at PNC Park. In his lone start of the season versus Cincinnati on April 18, he tossed a four-hitter in a 9-3 victory.

Can't tell who the announcers are, maybe Kelch and Casey? Talk about the B-Squad.

Leadoff single by Phillips goes for naught. Inning ended when Votto hits into a DP.

Bailey strikes out Walker to end a Pirates threat after surrendering a single to Jones and walk to Doumit. Scoreless game entering the second.

I can't wait until the day Paul Janish is no longer a Red. In addition to being bad at baseball, he's a slacker. What in the world was he doing there? That stare from Hanigan said it all.

:rolleyes:

I know it's been your campaign to convince us all as to how bad the Reds' offense is, but the fact of the matter is they've scored the 2nd most runs in the National League and 6th most in all of baseball this season.

So please, give it a rest with the incessant harping - the offense is far from terrible.

I plan to keep on harping. Sorry.

And it's not a terrible offense when all are healthy. It's semi-decent.

Get a cleanup hitter, now you're talking.

Nick Masset has no business in close games, especially in the eighth inning. He's got to be among the top of the list of biggest disappointments for the 2011 Reds. How, in any way, can he be counted on next year? I hope Walt looks elsewhere.

Sappelt stops short and watches the ball hit about 1 inch in front of him. He should have just reached out and caught it.

After holding on to the ball last batter and letting Jones take 2nd.

This is a bizarre game, to say the least. We've scored in 5 of the last 6 innings, and they have scored in the last 5.

I expect Cordero to give up 3 runs and send it into extra's.

With no pitchers left, Arroyo comes in with zero games rest, pitches 10 scoreless innings, but loses on a HR. He moves to Boston, and is never heard from again, except on the Midnight Express.

Knock down, drag out ballgame in the dog days. Nice to see some runs scored after so many futile efforts.

Happy to see Sappelt with some quality ABs. Give him time -- he's going to be a tough hitter, IMO.

Hanigan -- gotta be the best backup catcher in baseball.

The Votto AB vs. Hanrahan leading off the 9th was a great one. Love watching that guy battle.

So this is what Baker meant about Sappelt.....needing to still learn how to be abetter all around player? in AAA.

I thought that ball to left was played as well as Sappelt could. It was a sinking line drive that turns into an inside-the-park-homer if it gets by him. That would have gone over well.

I don't think it was as easy as just reaching out and catching it.

And he is starting to look less anxious at the plate.

Everyone wants to see the minor leaguers, then expects polish, I guess.

Sometimes people get boxed in to their opinions rather than judging objectively based on performance, IMO.

Sapp has played a very good LF. Nice throw to the plate to nail a runner in the 8th.

He just needs time to settle down at the plate. He's been pitched pretty tough so far. I contend he can be a very pesky top of the order guy before long.

Well, with his impatience, he's been getting himself out. The last AB in Washington and the last two ABs show that he may have already made the adjustment in his approach.
