PITTSBURGH — Bryan De La Cruz drove in a pair of runs and the Pittsburgh Pirates rallied past the Cincinnati Reds 6-5. The Pirates had dropped nine straight one-run games since the July 30 trade deadline before coming back from five down to beat the skidding Reds. Joey Bart and Rowdy Tellez had two hits for Pittsburgh, which is 5-3 since a 10-game slide. Tyler Stephenson hit his 17th home run of the season for Cincinnati. Santiago Espinal had three hits for the Reds, who used seven relievers after starting pitcher Andrew Abbott was placed on the injured list with a left shoulder injury.
