Freddy Sanchez drove in five runs in the opener, then tripled and scored the winning run in the eighth inning of the second game to give the Pittsburgh Pirates a 3-2 victory and doubleheader sweep Tuesday night that slowed the previously surging Cincinnati Reds. The Reds had won six in a row and nine of 11, only to be swept by Pittsburgh in a doubleheader for the first time since September 2000.
