Reds take step back in standings in loss to Pirates

The Reds’ recent momentum was stopped cold Saturday night by the curveball of the other team’s pitcher — Pirates starter A.J. Burnett. The right-hander had 12 strikeouts, including his 200th of the season, over seven innings. But he was also given help from Cincinnati’s self-inflicted mistakes that combined to bring a 4-2 loss vs. Pittsburgh at PNC Park.
