Pirates Get To Bauer, Earn Doubleheader Split With Reds

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Pirates took advantage of an uncharacteristically average performance by Cincinnati's Trevor Bauer to earn a doubleheader split with a 4-3 win in the nightcap.

The Reds took the opener 4-2 behind the strength of Luis Castillo, who picked up his first victory in nearly a year when he worked six solid innings.

Cincinnati, however, missed a chance to sweep a doubleheader for the third time this season when the Pirates scrounged up just enough offense against Bauer.

The Reds right-hander allowed six hits in six innings with two walks and seven strikeouts. His record fell to 3-3.
