The Pittsburgh Pirates ended a four-game losing streak with a 4-1 victory against the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ballpark on August 1. The Pirates scored three runs in the third inning, primarily due to four walks and a fielder's choice. Jose Trevino hit a solo home run for the Reds in the fifth, but Henry Davis'Single restored a three-run lead for Pittsburgh in the sixth. Pirates pitcher Braxton Ashcraft earned his team-high 11th win of the season, allowing one run over five innings. The game was delayed for nearly two hours due to rain, and both teams' lineups saw roster changes ahead of this matchup. Pittsburgh's Mitch Keller is set to pitch in Sunday’s finale against Cincinnati.
