Pittsburgh Pirates (0-2) face Cincinnati Reds (1-1) in the opener of a three-game NL Central series at hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park, pitting rookie right-handers Braxton Ashcraft and Chase Burns in MLB debuts that underscore both teams' youth-driven rotations. Pirates arrive cold off road sweeps by the Mets, including Paul Skenes' disastrous Opening Day (five first-inning runs allowed), with bullpen taxed early amid Chris Devenski's injury and Jared Jones on the 60-day IL (elbow). Reds counter without ace Hunter Greene (60-day IL, elbow surgery) and Nick Lodolo (finger, out until early April), but boast home-field edge after Elly De La Cruz's homer in a comeback win over Boston. Oneil Cruz (hamstring) is expected available for Pittsburgh's power-needy lineup.
