Farmer went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Pirates.

The shortstop took Sam Howard deep in the eighth inning to tie things up at 4-4, but Mychal Givens faltered in the ninth to keep the Reds tumbling down in the NL wild-card race with their fourth straight defeat. Farmer has set career highs with 14 homers, 52 runs and 55 RBI on the season, but his .256/.309/.403 slash line highlights his limitations as a hitter.
