RC+ Recap: Pirates 11, Reds 4

by — July 31, 2019 in Game Recap

Tanner Roark and Lucas Sims were ineffective. The bullpen wasn’t much better. The dirty Pirates ended their 9-game losing streak. The Reds saw their winning streak snapped. Jose Iglesias has to dye his hair again. Joey Votto banged. Jose Peraza pitched. There was a big fight. Clint Hurdle is a villain. David Bell is awesome. They’ll do it all again tomorrow afternoon.
