The Cincinnati Reds beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-1 on Saturday night. Leading 2-1 with a man on first base and just one out, Pirates second baseman Nick Gonzales hit a ball 106.2 mph off the bat, but it went right into the glove of Elly De La Cruz, who threw it over to Spencer Steer for a game-ending double play.

The Reds came into Saturday's game losing three straight games and desperately needed a win. Nick Martinez gave up just one run over seven innings and Noelvi Marte had three doubles to lead the offense.

"They're all important, but it kind of felt like we had to get off the mat here," Reds closer Emilio Pagan said.
