Bryan Reynolds

Reynolds' homer tied the game at 3-3, and Andrew McCutchen added a solo blast two batters later to give the Pirates the lead. They later added an insurance run in the ninth. Reynolds' homer off Jorge Lopez was his third in seven games and 22nd on the year. He has 77 RBI, which is 13 off his career high from 2021.

De La Cruz doubled in the first inning to drive in Bryan Reynolds and would later blast a solo shot in the sixth inning. It was De La Cruz's first homer as a Pirate after being traded at the deadline and is his 19th homer overall. The veteran outfielder needs just one more bomb to set a new career-high and should have plenty of time to get it done with little more than a month remaining in the season.

It was a forgettable evening for the Pirates overall in a one-sided affair, but Reynolds was one of the few bright spots as he reached the 20-homer plateu for the fourth consecutive season since 2021. The 29-year-old fantasy stalwart is on pace to threaten his previous career-high mark of 27 big flies, which he set back in 2022.

Reynolds started the scoring with an RBI single in the fifth inning. It's his second game in a row with two hits. Reynolds is hitting .282 with an .805 OPS and 70 RBI on the season.

Reynolds (back) is serving as the designated hitter and batting second in Sunday's game against Seattle, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.
