Cincinnati Reds Fall 3-0 to Pirates, Altercation Breaks Out Between Teams

W: Charlie Morton (7-4)

L: Keyvius Sampson (0-1)

S: Joakim Soria (24)

The Cincinnati Reds offense fell silent against Charlie Morton and the Pittsburgh Pirates in a 3-0 loss on Sunday at GABP to split the four-game weekend series. To be honest, it wasn’t one of the more exciting games to watch.

The drama came in the eighth when Pedro Villarreal threw a pitch at Andrew McCutchen that hit him in the back. The Pirates decided to retaliate in the bottom of the inning and hit Brandon Phillips with a fastball between his shoulders.
