Pirates' Initial Momentum
The game started on a promising note for the Pirates as they quickly took control in the first inning. With two runs scored and two hits, they set an early pace that seemed to put pressure on their opponents. Bryan Reynolds was instrumental in this initial surge, contributing significantly with his bat by hitting one home run and driving in two runs during his time at bat.
