PITTSBURGH — Jameson Taillon pitched five effective innings and helped send Homer Bailey to yet another loss as the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Cincinnati Reds 3-2 on Wednesday night to sweep their three-game series.

Taillon (12-9) allowed only one run as he scattered eight hits and walked none while striking out six. He is 5-2 with a 2.56 ERA in his last eight starts.

Felipe Vazquez survived a shaky ninth inning, allowing Dilson Herrera’s pinch-hit RBI double with none out, before earning his 30th save. After Herrera made it 3-2, Vazquez struck out Philip Ervin and Billy Hamilton, then walked Jose Peraza and Joey Votto before getting NL batting leader Scooter Gennett to hit a game-ending comebacker.

Bailey (1-14) lost his ninth straight decision and the Reds are 1-19 in his starts this season after he gave up three runs in five innings. Bailey’s lone win came May 12 at Dodger Stadium.

Gregory Polanco and Francisco Cervelli hit back-to-back RBI singles with one out in the third to snap a 1-all tie. Colin Moran drew Pittsburgh even an inning earlier with a run-scoring double.

Peraza opened the scoring with a home run in the first. The Reds stranded nine runners, including leaving the bases loaded in the fifth.
