Pirates overcome 9-run deficit for first time since team started in 1882, beat Reds 13-12

CINCINNATI (AP) A surprise in 2023 following a 100-loss season, the Cincinnati Reds and their beleaguered bullpen were dealt a staggering blow by the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The Pirates overcame a nine-run deficit for the first time since the franchise started play in 1882 and Alfonso Rivas tied a career-high with five RBIs in a 13-12 victory on Saturday night.

“There's really not a whole lot to say," Reds manager David Bell said. “Our players have given absolutely every ounce of energy from day one of spring training. That continued tonight, it is going to continue to the last pitch of the season.”
