  PITTSBURGH -- The Cincinnati Reds picked the wrong time to run into a hot pitcher. Off White x Fragment Design x Air Jordan Aj 1 .Ivan Nova pitched a six-hitter to stay unbeaten with Pittsburgh and Jung Ho Kang hit a two-run double to key a three-run first inning as the Pirates defeated Cincinnati 4-1 on Thursday night, extending the Reds losing streak to five games.Nova (12-6) pitched his second complete game in seven starts since being acquired from the New York Yankees in a trade on Aug. 1. He struck out four, walked none, got 15 of his outs on ground balls and retired the first 12 batters while throwing 94 pitches.Nova improved to 5-0 with a 2.53 ERA in seven starts with the Pirates. He has issued just two walks in 46 2/3 innings.He didnt give us much to get excited about, Reds manager Bryan Price said. He did a really nice job, even during the few times we had runners on base. He gets so many ground balls, hes always a pitch away from getting out of a tough situation with a double play. When we did have some guys on, he was just able to manage the game extremely well.Nova finished off the Reds in 2 hours, 28 minutes.I think my wife and everybody likes it when I get home early, so I try to make it as quick as possible, Nova said with a grin.Kangs double opened the scoring and he came home on a single by Francisco Cervelli as the Pirates took an early 3-0 lead against Dan Straily (11-8).Kang is 7 for 13 with seven RBI in four games since being activated from the disabled list Monday after missing 15 days with a sore left shoulder.That was all the runs Straily gave up during a five-inning stint. He allowed seven hits, struck out six and walked three.I wasnt exactly where I wanted to be -- but they had three hits (in the first) inning that were probably a foot away from a glove. Total, Straily said.

Andrew McCutchen countered with an RBI single in the bottom of the inning.TRAINERS ROOMReds: CF Billy Hamilton (strained oblique) missed his fourth straight game with a strained oblique and stayed behind in Cincinnati to receive treatment. .
