Game 156: Reds @Pirates- September 22- 12:35pm on Root Sports

Today the Pirates look to finish out the Reds and their final home game with a series win. The matchup pits Jeff Locke against Bronson Arroyo, who will likely feed the Buccos a steady diet of off speed pitches. The offense needs to be a factor today and provide runs for Jeff Locke, who has struggled in the second half. A win for the Pirates today puts them 2 games up on the Reds for the top wildcard spot and allows them to keep pace with the Cardinals.
