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 the gap in right-center field off Eury Perez (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 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.
Perez 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 their last nine games.
Despite missing so much time, Perez is still the youngest pitcher in the major leagues at 22 years, 55 days.
The Pirates broke the game open 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. Miami lost for the eighth time in nine games.
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 of the game 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.

After getting two hits, South Elgin's Justin Pold pitches inning in relief. Perfect. ‘Just meant everything to me.'
Coming into the season, senior second baseman Justin Pold faced elevated expectations for South Elgin, especially since he had such a solid performance the previous spring. High school baseball, however, is more of a sprint than a marathon. And when it takes time for things to start clicking, the engine can stall pretty quickly and then start to spiral. In Pold's case, he pinpointed one of the causes. 'I would say the strikeouts have been hard on me,' Pold said. 'Last year, I had like eight. This year, I have around 18. I just have to put the ball in play, and hopefully, the results will come.' Pold hung in there, put the ball in play and saw the results Monday, sending the Storm off to a quick start against McHenry in the Class 4A Kane County Cougars Supersectional in Geneva. Although Pold doubled in the first inning and followed with a two-run single in the second for a 4-0 lead, the Warriors battled back for an 8-6 victory at Northwestern Medicine Field. Pold, an Elgin Community College recruit, also made a rare pitching appearance for South Elgin (23-11). He came on in relief and got out of a jam in the sixth to keep the Storm alive. Nathan Kmiec contributed a two-run single, while Jacob Robertson also doubled and scored before adding an RBI single. Kmiec had already made it 2-0 when Pold stepped up in the second. And Pold's single to right field built a 4-0 advantage. 'It just meant everything to me,' Pold said. 'I was confident going in and got good results.' It's been a key facet for the Storm in this late-season run, with different contributors every game. 'Next man up,' South Elgin coach Jim Kating said. 'We've done a pretty good job of that in the last two-thirds of the season. I'm very proud of my kids, how they came out. 'We had nothing to lose. We weren't supposed to be anywhere close to where they're at. That's what I enjoyed, the mental toughness and the wanting to win.' As has been the case all season, the Storm persevered. It didn't matter who was struggling. 'This team is built off of friendships,' Kmiec said. 'We have all these friends on the team picking each other up. In practice, we're on each other. We felt like we could win it the whole time.' Going into the sixth, the game was tied 5-5, but McHenry (33-4-1) scored three unearned runs to take the lead. Pold stopped the bleeding to keep South Elgin within striking distance. 'That was energetic for sure,' Pold said. 'I only pitched four times before that, so I was not expecting to come in. We needed everyone for sure. 'I feel the momentum definitely shifted to us in the sixth and seventh innings. We just had too many errors. If we clean that up, I think that's our game.' The Storm ran out of steam trying to continue the coaching career of Kating, who's retiring, for one more weekend. He's the only coach in program history. 'We wanted to do this for him,' Pold said. 'He's been a great coach. He's been everything for us.' Kating said it hasn't set in yet that it's over, but he's appreciative of everything the program has accomplished in his 18 seasons at South Elgin. He tried to soak it in Monday. 'In the fifth inning, I kind of looked around and said, 'This is fun,'' Kating said. 'This is competition. This is what high school competition is supposed to be like. 'Hopefully, they take some of the stuff they experienced and turn it into life experiences.'

A's set date for breaking ground on $1.75 billion Las Vegas stadium
The Athletics' eventual move to the Sin City will take another step closer to reality later this month when they break ground on the $1.75 billion stadium in Las Vegas. The nomadic baseball team is planning on a groundbreaking ceremony on June 23 at 8 a.m., the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Monday night. Construction on the Athletics' future home began back in late April, and the ceremony later this month will serve as a celebration for the organization and local officials. Advertisement 3 The A's plan to move to Las Vegas in 2028. Jerome Miron-Imagn Images Among those expected to be at the event are team ownership, Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo, members of the state legislature and members of the Clark County Commission. The construction schedule for the stadium is slated to span 32 months to have the new ballpark ready for Opening Day 2028, according to the report. Advertisement The Athletics are currently playing in a minor league stadium in Sacramento, Calif., until their home in Las Vegas is completed. 3 This image shows a rendering of the baseball club's proposed stadium in Las Vegas. AP The A's started eying Vegas as a potential landing spot for the franchise back in 2021 when MLB cleared the club to do so after it had attempted to — though the sincerity of the attempts has been brought into question — get a new stadium in Oakland. The Athletics are expecting a largely local turnout for games once the team moves to Las Vegas, the team told the Review-Journal.

AP 'We've always thought that baseball would likely have a strong local component,' A's vice chair Sandy Dean told the outlet in April. 'It's hard to compare to Allegiant [Stadium] entirely because Allegiant has eight or nine games whereas baseball is going to have 81 games.' The Raiders had seen, on average, 68 percent of the fans at home games come from out of town, according to data from the Las Vegas Stadium Authority.
