Alcantara pitches 6 shutout innings as the Marlins edge the Pirates 3-2
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Sandy Alcantara struck out six in six shutout innings, and the Miami Marlins edged the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-2 on Tuesday night. Alcantara (3-7) allowed three hits and walked one in his first win since April 12. The 2022 NL Cy Young Award winner went 0-7 with a 9.07 ERA in his previous nine starts. Calvin Faucher worked around a two-on, no-out jam in the ninth for his fifth save as the Marlins won for just the second time in nine games. Nick Fortes hit his second homer of the season for Miami, a two-run shot off Mitch Keller (1-9) in the third. Eric Wagaman added two hits for the Marlins, including an RBI single in the fourth. Ke'Bryan Hayes and Oneil Cruz homered against Miami reliever Ronny Henriquez to get the Pirates within one but it wasn't enough as Pittsburgh's season-high four-game win streak came to an end. Keller allowed eight hits in six innings. The veteran right-hander is winless since beating the Marlins in his first start of the season on March 28. The Pirates fell to 15-15 since Don Kelly replaced Derek Shelton as manager in early May. Faucher appeared wobbly after hitting Spencer Horwitz and giving up a single to Nick Gonzales to start the ninth. The Marlins caught a break, however, when pinch-runner Jared Triolo stumbled on Gonzales' hit to right field, preventing him from attempting to head to third. Triolo ended the game on third base as the tying run. Key stat 2.28 — the run support Keller has received this season, one of the main reasons he is 1-9 despite a respectable 4.15 ERA. Up next The series wraps up with a matinee on Wednesday. Cal Quantrill (3-6, 5.63 ERA) starts for Miami against Pittsburgh's Bailey Falter (4-3, 3.49 ERA). __

Andrew Abbott throws 3-hitter and Spencer Steer drives in only run as Reds beat Guardians 1-0
Associated Press CLEVELAND (AP) — Andrew Abbott pitched a three-hitter for his first career complete game and Spencer Steer had an RBI single in the fifth inning, lifting the Cincinnati Reds to a 1-0 victory over the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday night. Abbott (6-1) struck out five and walked one in a 110-pitch gem, bouncing back from his first loss on June 4 against Milwaukee. It was the first shutout by a Cincinnati pitcher since Wade Miley no-hit Cleveland on May 7, 2021, also at Progressive Field. Steer's sharp single to right in the fifth off Slade Cecconi (1-3) plated Will Benson, but the Reds' potential big inning was thwarted by back-to-back lunging catches by Guardians first baseman Carlos Santana in foul territory. The Reds have won five straight, along with the first five games of the 'Ohio Cup' season series, in manager Terry Francona's homecoming to Cleveland. Cecconi matched his career high with eight strikeouts in five innings. The right-hander allowed four hits, but the Guardians fell to 1-4 on their homestand and 5-10 since May 25. Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez singled in the ninth, extending his on-base streak to 36 games. It is the longest for the franchise since Jason Kipnis' 36-gamer in 2013. Key moment The 25-year-old Abbott walked Steven Kwan to begin the ninth, but coaxed David Fry to hit into a double play to clean the bases. After Ramírez's hit, Santana flew out to left to end the game. Key stat Elly De La Cruz became the first Reds player with 20 or more stolen bases in each of his first three seasons. He has 122 career steals in 326 games since debuting on June 6, 2023. Up next Reds LHP Nick Lodolo (4-4, 3.21 ERA) takes on Guardians LHP Logan Allen (3-4, 4.42 ERA) in the three-game series finale. ___ AP MLB: recommended
