Game report
Reds 11, Pirates 8; Pirates 6, Reds 5
The arms — Elder High graduate Chris Nichting recorded the save in the afternoon game at Bradenton, coaxing a fielder's-choice grounder with the bases loaded and two out. Chris Reitsma didn't fare as well in the night game at Sarasota, allowing four consecutive hits and three runs in the second inning as the Reds' five-game winning streak ended. Reitsma, said to have an outside chance at a spot in the starting rotation, lasted 1 1/3 innings.
The bats — Non-roster outfielder Raul Gonzalez lined a three-run homer off the right-field foul screen, the biggest hit in a four-run ninth inning that erased the Reds' 8-7 deficit in the day game. At night, Michael Tucker went 3-for-3 with two homers before Austin Kearns and Adam Dunn also homered to make it close.
The rest — Moeller High School graduate Adam Hyzdu grounded an infield single off Nichting.
Up next — Today against Philadelphia, 1:05 p.m. Rob Bell will start against Phillies lefty Bruce Chen.
