- On Wednesday, the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Cincinnati Reds 8-3 to take the three-game series at Great American Ball Park. Pitcher Paul Skenes allowed one run over five innings while center fielder Oneil Cruz hit a three-run homer.
- Skenes returned to All-Star form after allowing five runs in two-thirds of an inning last Thursday in the season opener against the New York Mets. "Flush it... nice to get out of the way," Skenes said.
- Cruz drove a home run 407 feet over the wall in right field, his third in two games. Bryan Reynolds added a two-run shot and Nathaniel Lowe contributed an RBI double to extend Pittsburgh's lead.
- Following the series victory, the Pirates host Baltimore for their home opener on Friday. The Reds begin a seven-game road trip against Texas the same day.
- Driving the offensive production, Cruz finished the series 5 for 13 with three home runs and six RBIs. His performance fueled Pittsburgh's success throughout the three-game set against Cincinnati.
