Bryan Reynolds' bases-loaded triple leads Pirates to season-high 4th straight win, 10-3 over Marlins
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.

'All hell breaks loose, it's a UFC fight' but Oilers are better for it
The graduation ceremony was understated to say the least. Article content There were a few curse words, some stuff got slammed, there was anger and regret, some soul-searching and a unanimous vow that they would never be taken to school like that again. Article content Article content It hurt, it was embarrassing and it was ugly to watch, but the Edmonton Oilers just earned their Masters Degree in How Not To Play The Florida Panthers. Article content They got hooked like a fat salmon in Game 3's 6-1 defeat, but at least they have a pretty good idea where it all went horribly wrong. Article content 'We have a better understanding of what needs to be done out there,' said Oilers defenceman Mattias Ekholm. 'We can't let emotions, outside effects or referees or whatever affect us. We have to stick to the process and play our game and I think good things will happen.' Article content The Oilers have been good, in the wake of humbling defeats, at looking back, learning from their mistakes and being better for it. It's a process that's already started and, from the sound of it, is soaking in quickly. Article content 'Our team is really good at reacting and answering performances like Monday night,' said Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl. 'We've always been a good team at coming back out with a strong effort. Article content 'It wasn't our best showing, not our game, but we have a great chance in two days to show what our team is all about, what we worked for all year and bring our best game.' Article content Article content What was supposed to be a day off for the Oilers on Tuesday turned into a practice, instead, which is pretty understandable after a 6-1 loss. The common theme afterward was making sure they don't fall into the same trap in Game 4 that Florida lured them into in Game 3. Article content 'That's their brand, that's what they do really well,' Ekholm said of Florida's ability to work the referees and ignite the opposition. 'But, at the same time, we've won four games against them in the finals the last two years. Article content 'You look at those games, we were a very focused group, we played our game, we didn't let that even creep in a little bit. Maybe we lost that a little last game but we know what to do.' Article content Ignore it. Be first on the aggression. Make them pay on the man advantage. Master those three things and the Oilers chop one of Florida's legs out.
