CINCINNATI — The Pittsburgh Pirates are looking to buck their losing streak, but will have to practice patience before doing so.
The Pirates and Cincinnati Reds game at Great American Ball Park on Aug. 1 entered into a rain delay at 8:20 p.m., just ahead of the bottom of the sixth inning, with the Pirates leading 6-1.
Rain has fallen throughout the game, with the Reds grounds crew tending to the infield, pitcher's mound and batter's circle, so it's been a wet contest overall.
Lightning is around the Cincinnati area, with the chance of severe thunderstorms and heavier rain that could fall.
The Pirates and Reds have had rain delays in their games earlier this season, all of which have come at PNC Park.
Pittsburgh and Cincinnati had their first rain delay on May 1, with first pitch moved back from 6:45 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the eventual 9-1 victory for the home team.
The Pirates and Reds had two rain delays in their most recent series at PNC Park, with first pitch on June 27 moved back 35 minutes from 4:05 p.m. to 4:40 p.m., and then another one in the bottom of the eighth inning on June 28, that took about 35-45 minutes for play to resume.
Pirates OnSI will provide updates if there is any change to the restart time or a cancellation.
