Cincinnati at Pittsburgh

Cincinnati has lost 14 of its last 17 games, is 17-35 on the road this season, and has Homer Bailey on the mound tonight. Bailey is 2-5 with an 8.37 ERA and has lost his last three starts, including 9-5 at the Yankees on Wednesday when he allowed seven runs (five earned) on 10 hits in six innings. Bailey is facing the Pirates for the first time this year, and in one appearance last season he gave up five runs on eight hits in three innings against Pittsburgh. Jameson Taillon looks to bounce back from his worst outing of the season in a loss at San Francisco. Taillon is 3-2 with a 3.79 ERA at home and had given up more than two runs just once in his previous five starts. The Reds have lost the first game of a series 13 of their last 16 and have lost 17 of their last 21 road contests against teams with losing records. Pittsburgh has won five home games in a row. Play the Pirates.
