PITTSBURGH (AP) --- Spencer Horwitz was hit by a pitch from Anthony Bender with
the bases loaded in the eighth inning to bring in the go-ahead run and give the
Pittsburgh Pirates a 3-2 win over Miami on Saturday, ending the Marlins'
six-game win streak.
Bender (1-1) struck out the first two batters of the inning before surrendering
singles to Tyler Callihan and Jake Mangum and walking Jared Triolo. On the
first pitch following a mound visit, Bender hit Horwitz with a 97 mph sinker to
bring home Callihan.
The Marlins, who had won nine of 10 in June, got a leadoff single from Otto
Lopez and a walk to Xavier Edwards in their half of the eighth, but Yohan
Ramrez (4-2) struck out the next three batters.
Gregory Soto gave up a leadoff single to Esteury Ruiz in the ninth before
retiring three straight for his 10th save.
Ryan O'Hearn put Pittsburgh ahead in the first with a one-out single off Lake
Bachar through the right side of the infield.
Liam Hicks tied it on a line-drive single with two outs in the third, but Bryan
Reynolds gave the Pirates' a 2-1 lead in the bottom half with an RBI double
into the gap in left-center.
Reynolds robbed Heriberto Hernndez of a potential tying home run the following
inning. Hernndez had a called third strike overturned on a successful ABS
challenge before sending the next pitch deep to left, backing Reynolds to the
wall for a leaping grab.
Hernndez tied it 2-all by dropping a single into left field with two outs in
the sixth after Mason Montgomery relieved rookie right-hander Bubba Chandler,
who allowed two runs on three hits with six strikeouts and one walk in 5 2/3
innings.
