| |  | PITTSBURGH: PITTSBURGH (AP) - The roars have faded. The giddiness of ending 21 years of futility and coming with a game of the National League championship series, too.
The Pittsburgh Pirates are in some ways just another NL contender these days. That dark cloud of two decades of losing is gone after a remarkable 94-68 surge and the playoff berth that came along with it in 2013.
Now the franchise needs to figure out what to do with the rest of its life. For three seasons a club that was a laughingstock when manager Clint Hurdle took over in December 2010 has slowly made inroads to relevance.
Suddenly, the ''World Series or bust'' attitude owner Bob Nutting has espoused for years doesn't seem so laughable anymore.
Press reigning NL Manager of the Year Clint Hurdle on what his team can possibly do for an encore despite a relatively quiet offseason and he responds with his usual eternal optimism.
''Excellence is verb, not a noun,'' Hurdle said. ''You're going to continue to push forward. Our goal is to win a sixth world championship. The fact is, we haven't won an LCS or a division series. We need to maintain our focus on the things we need to do.''
| | CINCINNATI: CINCINNATI (AP) - Bryan Price's father worked for a savings and loan that had San Francisco Giants season tickets and would make some of them available to employees.
Any team was good to see. Two were best.
''So you go in there and battle for tickets to certain games,'' Price said. ''And I would circle the Reds and the Dodgers.''
He loved how the franchises were stocked with stars. He knew it would be fun watching them play his hometown Giants. He even dreamed of some playing or working for one of those teams.
That's why the last six weeks of spring training left him with a too-good-to-be-true feeling at times. He's managing the Reds, one of those teams he loved to see.
''It's almost a constant, surreal experience for me at this point,'' he said in February.
The surreal part gave way to reality pretty fast.
Starter Mat Latos had knee surgery the day spring training opened. Closer Aroldis Chapman got hit in the head by a line drive and is out for at least a month after having a plate put into his forehead. Starter Homer Bailey strained his groin. Relievers Jonathan Broxton and Sean Marshall aren't ready to start the season.

*Pirates-Reds Preview* ======================
By BRETT HUSTON STATS Editor
Pittsburgh (47-44) at Cincinnati (49-42), 7:10 p.m. EDT
The Cincinnati Reds were in an offensive rut late last week, but that seemed to be nothing more than a minor hindrance for a team that was at least healthy after three months of dealing with some fairly major injuries.
Suddenly, they have two more.
With Brandon Phillips joining Joey Votto on the disabled list, the Reds look to stay positive Friday night as they open a key series with the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates.
Cincinnati was shut out for the third time in five games Saturday, the last time Votto played before going on the DL with a nagging thigh injury that may limit him for the rest of the season.
The Reds (49-43) have rebounded offensively with their first baseman gone, totaling 31 runs while winning five of six, but a 6-4 loss to the Chicago Cubs wasn't Thursday's most significant news. Cincinnati found out Phillips would need surgery to repair torn ligaments in his left thumb after diving for a ground ball Wednesday night, forcing its second baseman to miss at least six weeks - and, according to some reports, more like eight to 12.
"It's a big blow," manager Bryan Price told MLB's official website. "He's a great two-way player, and he's been really consistent for us offensively. He's sat in the middle of the order, mostly No. 3 and 4 most of the year. And he's been spectacular defensively. So definitely a blow, but we'll weather it."
The Reds have had to weather quite a few significant injuries in the first half. Votto's DL stint is his second since mid-May, Jay Bruce missed time with a torn meniscus and Devin Mesoraco was out three weeks with a strained hamstring.
Ramon Santiago will see the bulk of the time at second, with Skip Schumaker also getting some looks.
Cincinnati's regulars have been fully healthy when they've faced Pittsburgh (48-44) so far this season, and they've fared quite well. The Reds have totaled 54 runs and won seven of 10, with Todd Frazier (.350, three homers), Billy Hamilton (.361, eight stolen bases) and Mesoraco (.385, two homers) leading the way.
The Pirates head to Great American Ball Park feeling much better about themselves than they did a day earlier. Pittsburgh lost its first three games in St. Louis - the first two on walk-off homers - before rolling to a 9-1 win Thursday.
The Pirates sit in fourth place in the tightly packed NL Central but are a game behind Cincinnati and 3 1/2 back of first-place Milwaukee.
"You're in position for anything that can happen," manager Clint Hurdle said earlier Thursday. "It's going to be exciting. It's going to be fun."
They should feel confident in the opener considering how well Jeff Locke (2-1, 3.08 ERA) has pitched of late. The Pirates have won Locke's last five starts and he's gone at least eight innings in three of those.
He's done it in both July outings after holding Philadelphia to one earned run in Sunday's 6-2 win. Locke has a 2.23 ERA in six outings since being called up June 8.
"Jeff's pace and rhythm has been as consistent as anything he's done," Hurdle said.
The left-hander is 2-1 with a 3.03 ERA in six starts against Cincinnati, and limited the Reds to two runs over six innings in a 4-3, 12-inning win June 19.
He'll be opposed by Mat Latos (2-1, 2.41), who has been just as effective as Locke since making his season debut in mid-June. The right-hander pitched eight innings for the first time since Sept. 2 on Sunday, beating Milwaukee as he gave up two runs in a 4-2 win.
Latos is 5-1 with a 2.96 ERA in 11 starts against Pittsburgh.
