The Pirates‘ bats will look to make some noise after a quiet outing against the Reds in the first game of the NL Central series.

Pittsburgh had just four hits in a 2-0 loss to Cincinnati on Monday, falling to 1-3 early in the 2026 season. Offseason acquisitions Brandon Lowe and Ryan O’Hearn have made an instant impact, but returning players like Oneil Cruz and Bryan Reynolds must step up.

The Reds, meanwhile, have won three games in a row behind solid performances from their pitching staff. Cincinnati’s Brandon Williamson and Pittsburgh’s Bubba Chandler are expected to start on Tuesday night.
