New-look Reds rally for win over Pirates:
Playing their first game under manager David Bell , the Reds got starring performances from two players signed for backup roles last month. They also ended the game with a relief pitcher playing centre field, a sign of Bell's openness to new ideas.
Shortstop Jose Iglesias doubled twice and drove in a run. After Jose Peraza's homer off Jameson Taillon tied it in the seventh, Dietrich put the Reds up 5-2 with his pinch-hit homer off Richard Rodriguez . Dietrich got a curtain call from the crowd of 44,049, the largest for a regular season game at Great American Ball Park.
Reliever Michael Lorenzen got into the game as a pinch runner in the seventh and played the last two innings in centre field. He didn't have a ball hit his way. The Reds gave themselves an off-season makeover with three trades, including the addition of Yasiel Puig from the Dodgers. The right fielder got one of the loudest cheers — fans chanting"PUUUUIIIIIIG!"— during pregame introductions and went 0 for 4 with a pair of strikeouts.
