Cincinnati, however, missed a chance to sweep a doubleheader for the third time this season when the Pirates scrounged up just enough offense against Bauer.Recently acquired outfielder Anthony Alford hit a two-run triple off Bauer in the fourth and tied it when Bauer’s second wild pitch of the season briefly skipped out of reach of catcher Tucker Barnhart.Bauer (3-3) allowed four runs but his ERA actually dropped from 2.13 to 2.05 after an error by first baseman Joey Votto that opened up the door for three unearned runs to cross the plate in the fourth. Bauer surrendered six hits against two walks and seven strikeouts. Sam Howard (2-1) picked up the win in relief. Richard Rodriguez worked a perfect seventh for his third save. In the opener, Castillo (1-5) struck out eight and walked two to earn his first win since Sept. 13, 2019. A 15-game winner and an All-Star last season, he had dropped seven straight decisions. Nick Castellanos hit his 11th home run for the Reds, a solo shot off Steven Brault (0-2).BREWERS 7, INDIANS 1CLEVELAND (AP) — Corbin Burnes pitched six strong innings, Keston Hiura hit an RBI double in Milwaukee’s four-run seventh inning and the Brewers scored three times on two weak infield grounders.Burnes (2-0) didn’t allow an earned run and only three hits to offensively inconsistent Cleveland, which had just four hits.

Hiura added a two-run homer in the seventh for the Brewers.Phil Maton (2-1) took the loss.
