PITTSBURGH (AP) — Bryan Reynolds hit a bases-loaded triple to cap a four-run third inning and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the skidding Miami Marlins 10-3 on Monday night for their season-high fourth straight win.
Reynolds put the Pirates ahead 4-1 with a line drive to right-center field off Eury Pérez (0-1), who was making his first major league start since Sept. 20, 2023, after recovering from Tommy John surgery. Reynolds’ hit came after Andrew McCutchen had an RBI infield single.
All nine Pirates starters had hits, and McCutchen and Adam Frazier paced a 15-hit attack with three apiece. Brett Sullivan had two RBIs in his Pirates debut after being called up Saturday from Triple-A Indianapolis.
Pérez lasted just three innings and gave up four runs and four hits. He had five strikeouts and two walks while throwing 70 pitches as the Marlins lost for the eighth time in nine games.
Despite missing so much time, Pérez is still the youngest pitcher in the major leagues at 22 years, 55 days.
The Pirates broke open the game with a four-run sixth that included two throwing errors by the Marlins on Ke’Bryan Hayes’ bunt single. That put Pittsburgh ahead 8-2.
The Marlins’ Otto Lopez hit a leadoff home run in the second inning, his sixth, to open the scoring.
Pirates rookie starter Mike Burrows allowed two runs on four hits in 4 1/3 innings with six strikeouts and three walks. Caleb Ferguson (2-0) pitched two perfect innings.
The start was delayed 41 minutes because of the threat of inclement weather.
Key moment
Reynolds’ triple gave the Pirates all the runs they would need.
Key stat
The Pirates are 20-8 against NL East teams at home since the start of last season.
