Jared Triolo - Scores twice, knocks in one Triolo went 3-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI on Saturday against the Reds.

Impact Triolo was involved in several rallies Saturday and tallied his second three-hit game of the season. He was Pittsburgh's primary shortstop with Konnor Griffin sidelined, though Triolo is now likely to slot into a utility role at shortstop and third base.

Esmerlyn Valdez - Homers in second straight Valdez went 1-for-1 with a solo home run Saturday against the Reds.

Impact Valdez was out of the lineup after starting Pittsburgh's last two games, but he still managed to impact the game. He entered Saturday's contest as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning and blasted a go-ahead solo home run, his second straight appearance going yard. Valdez still has a very inconsistent role in the Pittsburgh offense, but his recent performance at the plate could start to earn him playing time over Tyler Callihan.

Brandon Lowe - Reaches 20 homers in loss Lowe went 1-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Saturday's 9-7 loss to the Reds.

Impact Lowe gave the Pirates an early lead with a three-run blast in the third inning before adding a sacrifice fly in the seventh. The 30-year-old has hit safely in 10 of his past 11 contests, tallying six extra-base hits, 10 RBI and eight runs scored during that stretch. On the year, he's slashing .246/.320/.515 with 20 homers, 56 RBI and 51 runs scored across 341 plate appearances.

Jared Jones - Exceeds 80 pitches in no-decision Jones did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 9-7 loss to the Reds, allowing four runs (three earned) on four hits and one walk with four strikeouts over 4.2 innings.

Impact Jones allowed runs in three separate frames but posted his highest pitch count of the season, throwing 52 of 81 pitches for strikes with 12 whiffs. Although none of his six outings have exceeded five innings, the 24-year-old has yielded three earned runs or fewer four times as he continues to get stretched out. He'll carry a 5.76 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 25:9 K across 25 frames this season into a road matchup with the Phillies next week.

Gregory Soto - Blows save, takes loss Saturday Soto (4-2) blew a save and took the loss against the Reds on Saturday, allowing three runs on two hits and two walks with one strikeout in the ninth inning.

Impact Soto was summoned to protect a one-run lead in the ninth inning and surrendered a go-ahead three-run homer with two outs. It continued a rough June for the 31-year-old, who's yielded runs in four of eight outings and owns a 12.15 ERA for the month. On the year, he's 11-for-15 in save chances with a 3.93 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 40:15 K:BB across 34.1 innings.

Konnor Griffin - Goes yard in return to lineup Griffin went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Reds.

Impact Activated from the IL earlier in the day after missing nearly a month due to a flexor strain, Griffin quickly demonstrated that he was fully recovered when he crushed the second pitch he saw from Andrew Abbott over the fence in left-center field. The precocious shortstop is slashing .275/.333/.420 through his first 52 big-league games with five homers, 14 steals, 23 RBI and 31 runs.

Paul Skenes - Fans seven in Friday's no-decision Skenes came away with a no-decision Friday, giving up four runs on six hits and two walks over five innings as the Pirates fell 6-4 to the Reds. He struck out seven.

Impact All four runs against the right-hander came in a rough second inning that saw the first five Cincinnati hitters reach base before Skenes finally recorded outs on back-to-back sacrifice flies. It's the first time since May 23 that Skenes has been tagged for more than two earned runs, and through five start in June he's delivered a 3.58 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 39:8 K:BB through 27.2 innings. He'll look for his first win since May 12 in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next week in Philadelphia.
