The Pirates walked off winners in dramatic fashion Friday night, as Bryan Reynolds delivered the game-winning RBI single in the ninth to lift Pittsburgh past the Reds 3-2. The clutch hit capped a night where Reynolds went 2-for-4 with two RBIs, including the decisive blow that sent the PNC Park crowd into a frenzy. Pittsburgh's bullpen held firm after Mitch Keller's gritty 5.2-inning start, with Dauri Moreta and Dennis Santana combining for 2.1 scoreless frames to set the stage for the late-game heroics.

Cincinnati's offense sputtered despite Gavin Lux's perfect 3-for-4 night at the plate, as the Reds stranded eight runners. Chase Burns struck out 10 Pirates over six strong innings, but Tony Santillan's shaky ninth—allowing two runs on two hits—proved costly. The win keeps Pittsburgh's faint playoff hopes alive, while the Reds miss a chance to gain ground in the tight NL Central race.
