PITTSBURGH (AP) — Dontrelle Willis scattered three hits over six innings and had a two-run double to pick up his first win of the season as the Cincinnati Reds beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-4 on Sunday.
Willis (1-6) gave up three runs, walked two and struck out six to finally break through in his 13th and final start of the season.
Francisco Cordero survived an eventful ninth to pick up his 35th save.
Chase d’Arnaud had two hits for the Pirates, including a two-run triple but Pittsburgh couldn’t complete a three-game sweep in its home finale at PNC Park.
Daniel Moskos (1-1) took the loss, allowing three consecutive hits in the sixth, the last one a double to right-field by Willis, one of the best-hitting pitchers in the game.
