The Pirates face the Reds at Great American Ballpark. Game time is 7:10 PM. Juan Nicasio is on the mound for the Bucs, the severely struggling Alfredo Simon for the Reds. Simon has allowed 35 hits, six of them HRs, and 11 walks in just 21 innings. But he'll be wearing a Reds cap, so he'll probably shut the Pirates out. For his career, he's held the Pirates to a .689 OPS. His overall career opponents' OPS is .773. Clint Hurdle will help him out by sitting John Jaso.
