Marlins hold off Pirates, 3-2

Toronto, OHSports

Sandy Alcantara led the Miami Marlins to a 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates, striking out six and yielding just three hits over six shutout innings. This win marked Alcantara's first since April 12, ending a winless streak of nine games. Calvin Faucher faced a critical situation in the ninth but secured his fifth save after navigating a two-on, no-out jam. Nick Fortes hit a two-run homer, while Eric Wagaman added an RBI single to support the Marlins' offense. Despite home runs from Ke’Bryan Hayes and Oneil Cruz, the Pirates could not complete their comeback, ending their four-game win streak.

Mitch Keller, who has struggled with run support this season, fell to 1-9 despite a respectable 4. 15 ERA. The Marlins have only won twice in their last nine games, highlighting the importance of this victory. The series concludes with a matinee on Wednesday, featuring Cal Quantrill for Miami against Pittsburgh's Bailey Falter.
