Cincinnati ? Jason Bay probably wishes this month can last a while longer.

Bay hit his seventh homer in June and drove in four runs, one in Pittsburgh’s eight-run ninth inning, and Josh Fogg allowed two runs in six innings to help the Pirates send the Cincinnati Reds to a rare home series loss with a 14-4 rout Sunday.

“I was struggling more than I was used to,” Bay said. “Every time I’d get in a groove, I’d take a step back. When I came back, I tried to do too much at once.”

Bay wasn’t activated until May 7 after undergoing shoulder surgery in November.

“The rust is starting to come off,” manager Lloyd McClendon said. “He’s getting used to the speed of the game at this level.”

Fogg (5-6) improved to 4-1 in his career against the Reds, who lost just their third of 11 home series this season.

“They’re a free-swinging team,” Fogg said of his success against Cincinnati. “If you can keep the ball below the knees and get a lot of ground balls, you have a chance.”

He allowed three hits as the Pirates bounced back from blowing a 4-0 seventh-inning lead in a 6-4 loss Friday to win back-to-back road games for the first time since winning a fifth in a row May 26.

“These guys never cease to amaze me,” McClendon said. “When you lose a game like we did on Friday, a lot of teams would fold, but they didn’t do that.”

Pittsburgh's Josh Fogg unleashes a pitch in the Pirates' 14-4 victory over the Reds. Fogg pitched the Pirates to the victory Sunday in Cincinnati.

Ken Griffey Jr. went 0-for-4 to fall to 1-for-27 since hitting his 500th career home run June 20 at St. Louis.

He is hitless in his last 24 at-bats, surpassing the previous career high of 21 he set in 1993.

Paul Wilson (7-2) lost his second consecutive start since opening the season with seven wins. Wilson, who hasn’t won since May 25 and has been the victim of three blown saves in that span, allowed four runs on five hits and a season-high six walks.
