 The Reds and the Pirates opened the season facing each other and splitting a pair of games. Since that series, Cincinnati was swept in a three-game series with the Brewers, and Pittsburgh dropped two straight games against the Cardinals.

 During its current four-game losing streak, Cincinnati is batting .152 (19-for-125) with six runs scored and one home run. During this stretch, the Reds are batting .125 (3-for-24) with runners in scoring position.

 Through four games this season, Pittsburgh's starting pitching has posted a 1.88 ERA and a .167 batting average against. Pittsburgh's bullpen, on the other hand, has posted a 5.79 ERA with two blown saves in two opportunities.

 Tyler Mahle will be getting his first start of the season for Cincinnati. Over his last five starts of 2018, Mahle went 0-3 with a 14.49 ERA and a .420 opponent batting average.

 Jordan Lyles will make his Pirates debut tonight. Lyles made 35 appearances (eight starts) between the Padres and the Brewers last year -- as a starter last year, Lyles had a 4.79 ERA in 47.0 innings and as a reliever, he posted a 3.32 ERA in 40.0 innings.

 Jung Ho Kang hit his first home run of the season yesterday, his first home run in the majors since October 1, 2016. Kang has had success against the Reds throughout his career, posting a .309/.409/.596 slash line with 15 extra-base hits and 19 RBI in 110 plate appearances.

Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Joe Musgrove has been kept waiting for his first start of the season, and now he has a tough act to follow.
Musgrove, whose spot in the rotation was skipped when the Pirates-Reds game on March 30 was rained out, volunteered to pitch in relief, and he threw two shutout innings after Trevor Williams went the first six on Sunday in the Pirates' 5-0 win at Cincinnati.

Pirates' Musgrove eager for outing vs. Reds

PITTSBURGH (AP)  Whatever chance the Pittsburgh Pirates have of elbowing their way into the conversation in the NL Central hinges largely on their starting rotation living up to the hype.
A week in, all that talk looks legit. Playing the struggling Cincinnati Reds helps.
