The Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates paused their game at Great American Ball Park on August 2 due to weather-related issues. While it is not officially labeled a rain delay, the grounds crew is working to dry the infield after recent rainfall. The game was in progress for about 15 minutes before the pause, with the Reds leading 7-1, bolstered by Sal Stewart's two-run homer and Ke'Bryan Hayes' second solo home run of the week. Pirates manager Don Kelly was ejected after arguing with umpires during the stoppage. This marks the third instance of weather affecting games during the current homestand. A timeline for the game's resumption has not been provided.
