The in-game pause followed the previous night's 1:46 rain delay after playing through inclement conditions until the tarp was pulled out in the fifth inning. The in-game pause marked the third weather-impacted game of the Reds' 10-game homestand including the Reds-Cleveland Guardians game July 27 that was postponed to July 28 as part of a split doubleheader. The Reds and Pirates stopped play with Cincinnati leading, 7-1. Former Pirates player Ke'Bryan Hayes added a fourth run for the Reds with his second solo home run of the week in the second inning.
