 The Pirates and Reds have split the first six meetings this season, including the two games in Cincinnati in mid-August. Cincinnati has outscored Pittsburgh, 29-21, in the six games despite the even record, with the Pirates last two wins over the Reds coming by one run.

 Cincinnati beat the Cardinals, 10-5, on Sunday in St. Louis, continuing a trend of alternating wins and losses over the last six games. The Reds have just two winning streaks over their last 32 games, a three-game run on August 27-28 (including a doubleheader sweep over Milwaukee) and wins over the Cardinals and Pirates on September 2 and 4.

 The Pirates have dropped four straight games after being swept in Kansas City over the weekend. They've been outscored, 30-8, over those four games, with the -22 run differential their worst over a four-game span since September 18-21 last season (also -22).

 Ke'Bryan Hayes has a .344/.400/.594 slash line since making his MLB debut on September 1. His .994 OPS this month ranks first among National League rookies, and third among MLB rookies (minimum 30 PA).

 Eugenio Suarez recorded his first career three-homer game against Pittsburgh on September 5. He leads all players with 19 home runs versus the Pirates since the start of the 2015 season; his 61 RBI against them over that span ranks second to the Cubs' Anthony Rizzo (71).

 Trevor Bauer is the first National League pitcher in the live-ball era (since 1920) to have 70+ strikeouts (71) and an opponent batting average below .160 (.155) through his first eight starts in a season.

Reds aim for playoffs as Pirates look ahead to 2021

CINCINNATI (AP)  Cincinnati's Luis Castillo pitched a masterful seven innings, Shogo Akiyama drove in the game's only run, and the Reds moved into a virtual tie for second place in the National League Central Division with a 1-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday night.
Castillo (3-5), coming off his first career complete game in a 3-1 win at St. Louis on Friday, retired nine of the last 10 batters he faced and gave up only three hits and a walk with 10 strikeouts, helping the Reds extend their winning streak to a season-high five games.
