  "textContent": "Fresh off snapping a five-game losing streak, the Pittsburgh Pirates will aim to build momentum when they host the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday afternoon, looking for back-to-back wins after Friday’s dominant 9-1 victory.\n\nThe Reds will send right-hander Rhett Lowder (3-1, 3.18 ERA) to the mound, continuing his strong start to the season after overcoming injuries last year.\n\nThe 24-year-old has quickly become a key part of Cincinnati’s rotation amid a wave of pitching setbacks, and he’s coming off a solid outing against Detroit in which he struck out a season-high seven.\n\nThe Reds, however, have been surprisingly strong on the road this season, winning 10 of their first 14 away games, while TJ Friedl remains in form after collecting two hits in Friday’s loss.\n\nPittsburgh will counter with Carmen Mlodzinski (1-2, 4.13 ERA), who has shown flashes of promise this season but has struggled in recent outings after a strong start to April.\n\nThe Pirates’ offense has been sparked by Bryan Reynolds, who homered again Friday and continues to punish Cincinnati pitching, while Henry Davis powered the lineup with a multi-homer performance in the series opener.\n\nPittsburgh will also look to address a key trend, having struggled when opponents score first, a problem they’ll want to avoid against a confident Reds side.\n\nThe post Pirates vs Reds: Pittsburgh eye consecutive wins after ending skid appeared first on HUM News English.",
