The Reds held off the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-1 in the home regular season finale as heard yesterday afternoon on WRBI. Nick Lodolo was dominant on the mound. He gave up two hits and struck out 12 in 6 1/3 scoreless innings before leaving the game as a precaution with a right groin injury, but got the win. The Reds scored both runs in the 5th on RBI singles by Noelvi Marte and Gavin Lux. Marte also robbed Bryan Reynolds of a game-tying home run to right field in the bottom of the 9th inning. Emilio Pagan pitched a perfect 9th to earn his career-high 30th save, thanks to Marte’s heroics.
