Oneil Cruz's 2-Run Homer Helps Pirates Snap Reds' 5-Game Win Streak with 4-2 Victory

The Pittsburgh Pirates won 4-2 against the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday evening in Cincinnati, ending the Reds' five-game winning streak.
The Reds began the matchup level with the New York Mets in the contest for the National League's third wild card spot, making their defeat a significant obstacle in the postseason chase.
In the second inning, Pittsburgh put up four runs off Reds starter Brady Singer, highlighted by Oneil Cruz’s two-run home run that gave the Pirates an early advantage.
Cincinnati recorded just five hits and hit into three consecutive inning-ending double plays, while Dennis Santana earned his 15th save despite the defeat.
The Reds' loss put them one game behind the Mets with five regular season contests left. On Wednesday, Cincinnati's right-handed pitcher Hunter Greene, who has a 7-4 record and a 2.74 ERA, will face off against the Pirates' right-hander Paul Skenes, who holds a 10-10 record with a 2.03 ERA.
