Pirates Have Forgettable Performance vs. Reds on Otherwise Memorable Day

PITTSBURGH — This article originally appeared on PittsburghBaseballNOW.com.

All the excitement from the Pittsburgh Pirates pregame Hall of Fame festivities was short-lived. The Pirates recognized Barry Bonds, Jim Leyland and Manny Sanguillen as the three inductees in the class of 2024 on the field prior to first pitch.

Recap

The Reds (63-67) put up a four-spot in the top of the first inning against Jake Woodford (0-6). After back-to-back walks with one out, TJ Friedl singled home the first run of the game and Spencer Steer followed with a two-run double. Ty France capped off the big opening frame with a sacrifice fly.
