PITTSBURGH — Jack Suwinski hit a two-run double to key a four-run seventh inning, powering the Pittsburgh Pirates past the Cincinnati Reds 8-3.

Suwinski turned on a slider from Derek Law, sending it to right field.

Fellow rookie Oneil Cruz, who opened the inning with his third of four straight singles, and Miguel Andújar scored to put Pittsburgh ahead 4-2.

Law hit Ke’Bryan Hayes with a pitch and walked Cal Mitchell before being replaced.

Kevin Newman dropped an RBI single into right off Joel Kuhnel, making it 5-2. Hayes scored on a sacrifice fly.
