Pittsburgh’s Gonzalez, Adam Frazier and Hayes had two hits apiece.

Pirates starter Chad Kuhl lasted three innings as his pitch count rose quickly due to four walks. He struck out five while allowing two runs and two hits.

It was Kuhl’s sixth start since missing last season while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery on his right elbow.

The Pirates recalled OF Jason Martin from the alternate training site and placed OF Anthony Alford was placed on the 10-day disabled list. Alford sustained a season-ending broken elbow on Saturday night when he crashed into the fence chasing a home run by Cincinnati’s Tucker Barnhart.

Claimed off waivers from the Toronto Blue Jays on Aug. 27, Alford had started four of the previous five games in center field. INF/OF Cole Tucker figures to get most of the starts in center for the remained of the season.

Reds: RHP Sonny Gray (arm fatigue) is scheduled to pitch Thursday against the Cubs at Chicago, giving him nine days off between starts. He was tagged for six runs in 2/3 of an inning in his previous outing Sept. 1 against the St Louis Cardinals.

Reds: Off Monday then visit the Cubs on Tuesday in the opener of a three-game series.
