PITTSBURGH (AP) --- Max Meyer allowed one run in six innings, stranding nine
runners in the Miami Marlins' 4-2 victory over Paul Skenes and the Pittsburgh
Pirates on Sunday.
Meyer (7-0) gave up six hits, walked three and hit a batter, but he struck out
nine.
Skenes (6-6), who fell to 0-4 in six starts since last winning on May 12, gave
up home runs to Heriberto Hernndez and Joe Mack in the second inning. The
Pirates ace struck out 10, including the side in the fourth and sixth, and gave
up four hits with one walk in six innings.
Miami, which took two of three games from Pittsburgh, has won seven of eight
and 10 of 12 in June.
Hernndez opened the scoring by sending a Skenes fastball 403 feet into the
left-field bleachers. Mack drove a changeup 424 feet to center, putting the
Marlins ahead 2-0.
The Pirates started the fourth with three straight singles, capped by Jake
Mangum driving in Nick Gonzales. Meyer retired the next three batters,
including strikeouts of Jared Triolo and Spencer Horwitz.
Meyer hit Tyler Callihan with a pitch to load the bases with two outs the
following inning. Mangum then sent a sharp liner to right-center, but
centerfielder Jakob Marsee charged for a diving catch to rob a likely go-ahead
double.
Pittsburgh had two runners in scoring position with two outs in the seventh
before Calvin Faucher ended the threat with a strikeout of Callihan. It left on
11 total runners.
Kyle Stowers and Xavier Edwards pushed the lead to 4-1 with a pair of RBI
singles off Brandan Bidois in the eighth.
Pete Fairbanks, who picked up his ninth save, struck out two in the ninth
before surrendering a two-out homer to Bryan Reynolds.
