The Reds took a 1-0 lead in the first. Billy Hamilton doubled. He stole third on a ball that gave Joey Votto a walk, then scored on an errant throw to third from catcher Elias Diaz.
Federowicz's first homer of the season and eighth of his career also brought home Scott Schleber in the third to make it 3-0.
In the fifth, Colin Moran led off with a walk for Pittsburgh, went to third on a double by Jose Osuna and scored on Kevin Kramer's sacrifice fly. Osuna, who moved to third on Kramer's flyout, scored on a wild pitch to make it 3-2.
The Reds made it 4-2 in the bottom of the fifth. Curt Casali singled, moved to second when Jose Peraza was hit by a pitch, moved to third when Gabriel Guerrero flied out and, an out later, scored when Blake Trahan reached on an error by second baseman Kramer.
Marte and Bell hit back-to-back homers in the sixth to tie it. It was Marte's 20th homer, Bell's 12th.
