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.
