Get ready for some early-season action as division rivals<\/strong> clash in a classic NL Central showdown \u2014 the Cincinnati Reds<\/strong> are hosting the Pittsburgh Pirates<\/strong> for this week\u2019s edition of \u2018Friday Night Baseball\u2019 on Apple TV+<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Pirates<\/strong> are coming in hot after winning three of their last four games<\/strong>, including a dramatic 13-inning thriller on Wednesday. That marathon finally ended thanks to Joey Bart<\/strong>, their catcher, who came through with a clutch walk-off hit<\/strong> to seal the win. One of Pittsburgh\u2019s longtime fan favorites, Andrew McCutchen<\/strong>, is showing he\u2019s still got it at 38 years old<\/strong>, kicking off the season with a solid .766 OPS<\/strong> (a stat that basically means he\u2019s hitting and getting on base at a nice clip).<\/p>\n

On the other side, the Reds<\/strong> managed to spark some offense in their most recent game out in San Francisco<\/strong>, even though they just missed out on a series sweep. Still, they picked up their first series win<\/strong> of the season \u2014 and that\u2019s a step in the right direction.<\/p>\n

One name Reds fans are buzzing about? Elly De La Cruz<\/strong>. This 23-year-old rising star is full of potential, and he\u2019s hoping to get into a groove now that he\u2019s back at home. In his last game, he notched his second multi-hit performance<\/strong> of the year, which could be a sign that his bat is heating up.<\/p>\n

Last year, the Pirates got the better of the Reds<\/strong>, taking 8 of their 13 games<\/strong> in the season series \u2014 so there\u2019s definitely some unfinished business for Cincinnati.<\/p>\n

Want to catch all the action? Tune in to \u2018Friday Night Baseball\u2019 live on Apple TV+<\/strong> to see who comes out on top in this early-season battle. Whether you\u2019re rooting for the young talent in Cincinnati or the veteran leadership in Pittsburgh, this one\u2019s shaping up to be a fun one.<\/p>\n
