 The Pirates are 14-2 over their last 16 home games against the Reds and have won each of the last seven. The last time the Bucs won as many as eight consecutive home games against a divisional opponent was in 1992-1993 -- 11 straight over the Mets.

 The Reds won two of three at home against the Padres in their last series, their sixth consecutive home series win or tie. The Reds are batting .283 since the All-Star break after hitting .235 before the break -- that +0.48 improvement is the largest in MLB.

 The Pirates lost three of four against the Nationals, getting outscored 32-6 in the four-game set. The Bucs have scored just 14 runs in their last eight games -- the only team to score fewer runs in an eight-game span this season is the Marlins (13 in April).

 In nine games since joining the Reds, Freddy Galvis is hitting .438 (14-of-32) with three home runs and seven RBI. The only other player with at least 14 hits and three homers through nine games with the Reds was Jay Bruce in 2008 (16 hits, three homers).

 Josh Bell has played 123 games in 2019 and has 99 RBI. In the divisional era (since 1969), Willie Stargell and Brian Giles are the only Pirates to need fewer than 125 games in a season to get their 100th RBI.

 Before the All-Star break, Reds starting pitchers had a combined 3.77 ERA, third best in MLB behind the Rays (3.32) and Dodgers (3.37). Since the break, the Reds' starters ERA is 4.99, which ranks 21st in MLB.

The last time the Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates met, July 29-31 in Cincinnati, tempers flared in a series that was not against two of the better teams in the National League, yet still managed to draw attention.
Heading into a weekend series at Pittsburgh, the Reds and Pirates have dealt with suspensions to both managers, as well as three players on each club as a result of a benches-clearing brawl, the crux of which seemed to come from Cincinnati suspecting Pittsburgh pitchers were throwing at batters.

Reds-Pirates set to square off once again

PITTSBURGH (AP)  Pablo Reyes plays baseball with an unabashed joy, something in short supply these days for the Pittsburgh Pirates. For one brief moment Friday night, the 5-foot-8 utility player provided a dash of it for his beleaguered team, capping a ninth-inning rally with a game-ending single to lift the Pirates to a 3-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.
The Pirates won for just the ninth time in 39 games since the All-Star break by chipping away at Reds closer Raisel Iglesias (2-9). Pittsburgh put together three straight singles to start the ninth, the last a flare to shallow center by Adam Frazier that scored pinch-runner Erik Gonzalez.
