Cincinnati at Pittsburgh MLB Pitching Match-Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
<b>Pittsburgh:</b> Nick Kingham (5-7 5.23 ERA)<br />
<b>Cincinnati:</b> Anthony DeSclafani (7-7 4.91 ERA)
</p>
<p></p>
<p>
In Kingham’s last start it is one he would like to forget getting lit up for five earned runs on seven hits in only one 1/3 innings in a 13-6 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. To say he has struggled as a starter lately would be an understatement, as in his last four starts he is 0-3 with an ERA of 12.19. Kingham’s last win as a starter came on July 21st. Kingham has one start against the Reds this season where he gave up two earned runs on four hits in six 1/3 innings in a 6-2 Pittsburgh win.
</p>
<p>
Kingham’s last road start was a pretty good one where he gave up one earned run in five innings, but the bullpen fell apart in a 5-1 loss to the Atlanta Braves. The Pirates have lost his last four starts overall, and they have lost four of his previous five road starts.
</p>
<p>
In DeSclafani’s last start he gave up three earned runs on six hits in five 2/3 innings in a 5-1 loss to the Miami Marlins. The Reds have lost his last three starts where he has totaled 15 1/3 innings and gave up 12 earned runs. The Reds are 1-1 in DeSclafani’s two starts against the Pirates on the season where he has totaled 10 innings and gave up five earned runs.
</p>
<p>
DeSclafani has given up five HR in his last four starts. The Reds are 5-1 in DeSclafani's last six home starts and they have won five of his previous seven home starts against a team with a winning record.
