PITTSBURGH (AP) — Mike Moustakas homered twice and Brandon Drury drove in four runs to break out of a slump and lead the resurgent Cincinnati Reds to an 8-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night. In the seventh, he had another solo homer to make it 8-2, two batters after Drury had a two-run drive. Reds starters have pitched six innings in back-to-back games after not making it that far in the first 31 games of the season. With the Reds going from six starting pitchers to five, right-hander Connor Overton will remain in the rotation. Pirates: RHP Zach Thompson (1-3, 7.08) pitched five scoreless innings against the Reds last Sunday but did not factor in the decision.
