The Reds took advantage of three errors and scored five unearned runs in the seventh inning before adding their lone earned run in the eighth to defeat the Pirates, 6-0. Mario Soto, who posted the shutout on a seven-hitter, was engaged in a scoreless duel with Jim Rooker until a wild throw by the Pirates' starter led to his downfall.
