Xavier Nady homered twice and drove in four runs Wednesday night, leading Pittsburgh to a 9-5 victory over the Cincinnati Reds shortly after the Pirates lost yet another pitcher to injury.

Closer Matt Capps will be gone for about eight weeks after a medical test detected bursitis and tightness in his pitching shoulder. Capps is the fourth Pittsburgh pitcher to wind up on the disabled list in the last two weeks.

The rest of the bullpen came through, helping the Pirates win back-to-back road games for only the second time this season.

Denny Bautista (1-0), obtained in a trade with Detroit last week, got the victory in relief of John Van Benschoten, who fizzled in his homecoming.
