Pirates take series from Reds!

Episode 315 of Bucco Bantr is here, and the Pittsburgh Pirates are starting to build serious momentum early in the 2026 MLB season.

The Bucs take 2 out of 3 on the road against the Cincinnati Reds, powered by a huge offensive showing from Bryan Reynolds and Oneil Cruz, who continue to lead the charge at the plate. The power surge was backed up by dominant starting pitching, as the rotation set the tone all series long.

And of course… the boys were hoisting the cone.

The Pirates brought the energy to Cincinnati, celebrating in style as the dugout vibes matched the on-field performance. When the cone is up, you know things are rolling.

In this episode, we break down each game of the Reds series, key highlights, standout performances, and what this series win means moving forward. We also preview a big weekend ahead as the Pirates return to Pittsburgh for the Home Opener at PNC Park against the Baltimore Orioles, including a look at the projected pitching matchups and what fans should expect.

If you’re looking for a full Pittsburgh Pirates series recap, player analysis, and Orioles series preview, this episode has you covered.
