I'm Corey with the story.

The Pittsburgh Pirates powered past the Cincinnati Reds 8-3 on a gusty night at Great

American Ballpark, smashing four home runs to secure.

Their second win of the season, O'Neill Crew stole the show with a pair of monster shots,

including a 444-foot blast to right feel that had fans buzzing.

Brian O'Hern and Brian Reynolds added long balls off starter.

Brandon Williamson, with Reynolds tying Jason Bay for 9th on the Pirates all-time home,

run list at 139. Pirates starter Bubba Chandler kept it hitless through four and a third innings,

despite some wildness, while manager Don Kelly got the boot in the 8th for Jarring Atums

over a check swing call on Eugeniel Suarez.

The Reds clawed back, with back-to-back homers, to make it 6-3 and loaded the bases late,

but the Pirates' bullpen slammed the door with key, outs to seal the deal and keep the

momentum rolling.
