CHRISTOPHER PANSINO – OVATHLETICS.COM<\/p>\n

The Cincinnati Reds swept the Pirates Wednesday afternoon in a 5-0 shutout.<\/p>\n

The game, not nearly as bad as the night before one hit shutout, had equally bad\u00a0performance from both the pitchers and hitters on the Pirates side.<\/p>\n

Starting\u00a0pitcher Zack Duke was torched early and often allowing all five earned runs and nine\u00a0of ten hits in his five innings of pitching. Duke would give up two home runs in the\u00a0game, the first to Joey Votto in the first inning, which dusted off the bases for\u00a0the early 2-0 Red?s lead. The second home run came off a solo shot by Drew Stubbs in\u00a0the fourth inning to put the game at 5-0.<\/p>\n

The Pirate bats were weak at best getting\u00a0only four hits off of Cincinnati?s Homer Bailey. Bailey would have a complete game\u00a0shutout and improve his ERA from 7.24 to 5.66. Much like last night pitching, Bailey\u00a0would not walk a single batter in his nine innings pitched. A lot can be said about\u00a0that statistic.<\/p>\n

For the series, the Pirates got only one run on ten hits, which\u00a0included just two extra-base hits. The Reds bullpen would pitch just two innings in\u00a0the series, which all came from Monday?s game.<\/p>\n

The sweep of the Pirates continues\u00a0the four games losing streak and put a damper on what was a great start for the<\/p>\n

Pirates home stand. As of last Thursday the Pirates had just completed a sweep of\u00a0the Cubs and moved within two games of .500. Now after the series with the Cardinals\u00a0and Reds the Pirates are six games under five hundred and are next to last in their\u00a0division.<\/p>\n

The Pirates have tomorrow off before embarking on a five game road trip\u00a0starting in Chicago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
