CINCINNATI — Colin Moran hit a grand slam and a two-run homer against his former team, powering the Cincinnati Reds to a 7-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Tyler Mahle pitched five solid innings and the Reds rallied from a 2-0 deficit in the sixth.

Cincinnati took two of three against Pittsburgh to win a series for the first time this season, improving the majors’ worst record to 5-23.

Moran’s bases-loaded drive to right field in the sixth gave Cincinnati a 5-2 lead.

He homered to center with Kyle Farmer on first base in the eighth, giving him six RBIs in a game for the first time in his career.

They were his first two home runs this season.
