Rookie Josh Harrison collected a career-high four hits, and Ryan Ludwick drove in and scored a run as the Pittsburgh Pirates recorded a 4-3 home triumph over the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday.
Jason Jaramillo added an RBI single to highlight a three-run third for Pittsburgh, which has won 10 of the 14 meetings between the National League Central rivals.
Rookie Brad Lincoln (2-3) rebounded from a dismal start against the Los Angeles Dodgers to allow two runs on six hits in five solid innings. Three relievers bridged the gap to Jason Grilli, who stranded Brandon Phillips on second base to secure his first save of the season.
Joey Votto belted a pair of RBI doubles and Edgar Renteria added an RBI single for Cincinnati, which has dropped six of its last eight.
Travis Wood (6-6) struggled right from the start, permitting four runs on seven hits in 2 2/3 innings.
