CINCINNATI — A Bryse Wilson start defined by home runs certainly qualifies as a plausible premise, especially at Great American Ball Park. But the twist Monday against the Reds was that Wilson got to watch a couple balls sail over the fence and smile, instead of growing frustrated.
To back another solid effort from Wilson, Bryan Reynolds, Rodolfo Castro and Diego Castillo all went deep, quite literally powering a 6-3 victory for the Pirates over the Reds in a matchup of eliminated-from-contention teams.
Despite giving up another home run — certainly a theme for the right-hander this season — Wilson delivered a solid performance, giving the Pirates 5 2/3 innings of three-run ball, walking two and striking out four to pick up his third win of the season.
