PITTSBURGH — Mike Moustakas homered twice and Brandon Drury drove in four runs to lead the resurgent Cincinnati Reds to an 8-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Moustakas hit a solo shot into the right field stands in the fourth inning to break a 2-2 tie.

In the seventh, he had another solo homer to make it 8-2, two batters after Drury had a two-run drive.

It was the 15th multihomer game for Moustakas. He helped the Reds win for the sixth time in eight games following a 3-22 start.

Tyler Mahle won for the first time since opening day.
