CINCINNATI -- Elly De La Cruz scored on fielder's choice in the ninth inning to lift the Cincinnati Reds to a 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday night in the opening game of a four-game series. Lowe grounded softly to second for a potential game-ending double play but beat the throw as De La Cruz scored easily. De La Cruz hit three doubles, stole two bases and had an RBI. Sal Stewart singled home De La Cruz to make it 2-0. Nick Gonzales led off the fifth with a double and later scored on Jacob Gonzalez's sacrifice fly to cut the Pirates' deficit to 2-1.
