Elly De La Cruz hit his second career grand slam, Andrew Abbott allowed a run over five innings in his season debut, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-2 on Saturday night. De La Cruz's grand slam on a 3-2 pitch from Pirates lefty Andrew Heaney with two outs in the third put Cincinnati ahead 4-0.

Through his first two starts of the regular season, the Pittsburgh Pirates had plenty of reason to be pleased with veteran left-hander Andrew Heaney, who was brought aboard in February to bolster the starting rotation.
