Tony Perez' tie-breaking two-run homer and Cesar Geronimo's solo blast in the eighth powered the Reds past the Pirates, 5-3. Craig Reynolds' first RBI of the season on a seventh-inning double had tied the score at 2-2 for the Bucs, who suffered their fifth consecutive defeat. Rawly Eastwick gained his 13th save in the Reds' 12th victory in their last 13 games.
