The Pittsburgh Pirates did just enough to back Bailey Falter’s gem for a 1-0 win over the Cincinnati Reds at PNC Park on Tuesday night.

The Pirates (16-33) finally broke a scoreless tie in the bottom of the sixth inning when Bryan Reynolds ripped a single through the right side to plate Oneil Cruz from second.
