The Bucs beat the Reds 5-4 on Wednesday night, winning the hard way while getting hit by four pitches. The Pirates immediately retaliated by hitting Brandon Phillips to lead off the 4th inning. That began a volley of HBPs that the two teams who could not deny were intentional, and there were six for the game between the two teams, including four by the Reds.
The Pirates hit four solo home runs in this one, notching five runs despite only six hits. Francisco Liriano takes the mound for the Bucs Friday at 2:20 at Wrigley Field against the first place Cubs!
