Reds try to end losing streak at Pittsburgh

Aug 3, 2007 - 3:20 PM Cincinnati (45-64) at Pittsburgh (44-62) 7:05 pm EDT

PITTSBURGH (Ticker) - The Cincinnati Reds will try to end a five-game losing streak as they take on the Pittsburgh Pirates in the first of three games between the teams with the two worst records in the National League on Friday.

Matt Belisle (5-8, 5.30 ERA), who has lost his last four decisions and is winless since May 29, will take the mound for the Reds. The 23-year-old righthander is 2-0 versus the Pirates this season, allowing two earned runs in 15 innings pitched.

Belisle will have to deal with Jason Bay and the Pirates, who come in winners of two straight after starting the second half of the season losing 14 of 16 games. Bay is hitting .375 (18-for-48) in his last 13 games.

Starting for Pittsburgh will be Ian Snell (7-9, 3.66). The 25-year-old has lost his last four starts but received just nine runs of support during that span.

Snell will attempt to end his personal losing streak against a Reds offense who have scored just nine runs during their current losing streak.

The Pirates have scored 20 runs in their last two games, including a season-high 15 runs on Wednesday against St. Louis.
