Bucs ride Nova, homers to series win vs. Reds
(MLB.com Pittsburgh Pirates)

Ivan Nova had his second strong outing in as many starts since returning from the DL, and the Bucs backed him with three homers to win their first series in a month. Colin Moran, Elias Diaz and Josh Harrison went deep for Pittsburgh, while Eugenio Suarez hit his 13th dinger for the Reds and Brandon Dixon hit the first of his career. Luis Castillo took the loss, as his season-long struggles with the long ball continued.
