PITTSBURGH — Miguel Andujar hit his first home run with Cincinnati, Spencer Steer and Noelvi Marte had three hits and four RBIs each, and the Reds outlasted the Pittsburgh Pirates 14-8 on Sunday to earn a split in the four-game series.

Andujar, who hit a three-run shot to the rotunda in left field in a four-run second inning, hit six homers for the Athletics before being traded at the deadline. He was also in the middle of the Reds’ decisive three-run rally in the sixth inning that broke a 4-4 tie.

Elly De La Cruz and Andujar hit back-to-back singles off Yohan Ramirez (1-1) to begin the sixth and, one out later, Marte hit a tiebreaking double. Steer followed with a two-run double to put the Reds ahead 7-4.

Steer hit a two-run homer in the eighth to make it 9-5 and Marte connected on a three-run homer during a five-run ninth.

The teams combined for 30 hits, including 16 by the Pirates led by Isiah Kiner-Falefa with three hits and two RBIs.

Scott Barlow (6-0) retired only one of three batters he faced.

Reds starter Zach Littell gave up four runs and nine hits in 4• innings. Pirates starter Mike Burrows lasted five innings and allowed four runs on three hits while striking out six.

Key moment

The Pirates scored three runs, two on a throwing error by second baseman Matt McLain, in the eighth inning to get within 9-8. Graham Ashcraft struck out Jared Triolo with a runner on second base to end the threat.

Key stat

The Reds have gone 40 series without being swept, dating to last season.

Saturday’s game

Nick Martinez pitched seven sharp innings and Marte doubled three times as the Reds beat the Pirates 2-1 on Saturday night to snap a three-game slide.

Marte drove in one run and scored another. Martinez (10-9) permitted a run on four hits and two walks while striking out four.

Emilio Pagan earned his 25th save. He gave up a leadoff walk in the ninth but shortstop De La Cruz converted a line drive into a game-ending double play.

Marte knocked in Steer from first base with a double in the fourth to tie it 1-all. Marte doubled again in the seventh and scored on TJ Friedl’s sacrifice fly. He added his third double in the ninth to set a career high.

Pittsburgh took a 1-0 lead in the third when Triolo doubled and scored on Tommy Pham’s sacrifice fly.
