Wandy Dazzles as Pirates Sweep Reds

PITTSBURGH - The Pirates got off to a slow start to the season, falling to a 3-6 record. But after heading home to PNC Park for a 10 game home stand, the Pirates have taken the first two games of the three game set against the Reds. The Reds send Johnny Cueto to the mound to keep the Pirates at bay and attempt to avoid the sweep.

After a scoreless 1st inning, Garret Jones started off the bottom of the 2nd second, singling to center. Russell Martin followed Jones with a single of his own to put men on 1st and 2nd with no outs. On a 3-2 pitch from Cueto, Clint Barmes singled up the middle to score Jones, putting the Pirates up 1-0. Wandy Rodriguez was looking to help his cause, but a failed bunt attempt gave the Pirates two outs in the inning, which would be ended on a ground out from Jose Tabata. In the bottom of the 3rd, Neil Walker and Andrew McCutchen lead off the inning with singles, putting the Pirates again in scoring position. After a passed ball by Ryan Hanigan which advances the runners, Garret Jones hit a sac fly to score Walker, putting the Pirates up 2-0. Wandy Rodriguez was cruising through the game, having a 3 pitch inning in the 4th. WIth a no hitter in place through 5 2/3, Rodriguez gave up a two out single to pitcher Johnny Cueto to end the not hit bid. Rodriguez came right back and struck out Shin Soo Choo to end the inning. In the bottom of the 8th, McCutchen singled, followed by a walk to Gaby Sanchez, allowing Russell Martin to hit an RBI single to put the Pirates up 3-0. Clint Hurdle decided to keep Rodriguez in the game with a low pitch count and things got a tad hairy, as Zach Cozart singled, followed by Negron reaching on an error by Barmes. With runners on 1st and 3rd with one out, Brandon Phillips grounded out which scored Zach Cozart. But Wandy escaped trouble, getting Joey Votto to ground out to end the game and gave the Pirates the victory and the sweep.
