• Ke’Bryan Hayes will return to PNC Park just days after the Pirates dealt the Gold Glove third baseman to the Reds. Cincinnati also added starting pitcher Zack Littell (8-8, 3.58 ERA) at the trade deadline as they hope to stay in the playoff chase. The Reds swept the Pirates in April. The Pirates then won two of three in a May series at home.
