the home stand finale The Pirates will hit the road and take on two of the best teams in baseball the Cubs and the Tigers Coming up in an opportunity to make this not only a winning home stand but backto-back series wins for the Pirates here with a win today Bailey Falter his 14th start just under a 3.5 ERA 59 and 2/3 43 strikeouts that nice 220 opponent average Xavier Edwards steps in First pitch of the game with Hayes drawn in at third Puts him out on one pitch So Falter is seeing Augustine Ramirez now the two hitting DH off the end of the bat to Reynolds in right Three pitches and two outs That’s a great start Roberto Hernandez the right fielder Two for four on Monday Didn’t play last night That is Walloped on a line into left field That’s down for a base hit And it’s chasing Frasier towards the corner Throw coming in towards second is not in time You better keep him in the darn lineup every day It’s a double for Hernandez Gets a fast ball and he’s absolutely killing the fast ball and that one was hit pretty hard So that’ll bring Otto Lopez to the plate He’s riding a fivegame hitting streak right now Called third strike at the bottom of the zone Splinter No no fast balls for Otto Cal on a one-year $3.5 million deal with the Marlins He makes his 13th start in a Marlins uniform Cal three and six with a 563 erra O’Neal Cruz leads off bottom of the first for the Pirates Last night his eighth inning at bat he crushed his 13th home run of the season Liner hit too well and over Lopez a base hit for Cruz going the other way to start you know and these are the kind of swings that that you have to go to I call it your B or C swing at times O’Neal Cruz is going good You see a lot a lot more of this Andrew McCutchen speaking of red hot runner goes fly ball in the air left center field Dane Meyers making his 28th start of the season in center today puts the squeeze on out number one here in the bottom of the first That’ll bring the switch hitting right field There were the veteran Brian Reynolds to the plate for Pittsburgh Reynolds sprays one into left field That is peeling a little bit on Soha but he makes the catch and fires it back into the infield Is out number two And now Horowitz 3-2 pitch That one cut on and missed He was late on a 95 mph fast ball from Cal Quattro one of his hardest of the year and high heat blown by Horwitz to strain a man at second In the bottom of the second inning Nick Gonzalez steps in that right-hand batter’s box It’s two pitch line drive base hit center field for Nikki G Second time the Pirates get their leadoff man on Frasier who has four hits in the series Hot shot up the middle Lopez has got it Steps on the bag throw to first in time and a double play turned by the Marlins One hopped its way to Otto He picked it up on a short hop He ran it to the second base bag himself to get the lead man Gonzalez And then he fired to first to get Frasier in plenty of time That’s a six to3 double play ball There are two away Two outs Nothing nothing Bottom of the second Here’s Henry Davis Going the opposite way on that slider And a two-out single for Henry Davis Uh Henry Davis just continuing to look more and more comfortable every day He’s getting at bats Nice work Davis Here’s keep Ryan Hayes Pull in the air to shallow right field That’s going to get down for a base hit Just a lob wedge into shallow right Puts runners at first and third That was nice Two outs He had Davis just taken off at contact He actually got in a position where he’s rounding third It’s in case there was a little mess up out there in the outfield Isaiah Connor Falefa Hayes will run trying to induce the throw He does and that yields a run for the Pirates Work to perfection We’ll take a freebie There’s no doubt about that Put some pressure on the defense In some instances you see this happened You see Kabrian Hayes stop He did that on purpose to see if he couldn’t elicit a bad throw or try to get in a run down and score that runner Henry Davis from third He gets one of those And that’s what we’re calling Donnie Ball Oh man For the fourth here in Pittsburgh the Pirates lead the Marlins one- nothing There’s one down Here’s Adam Frasier Swing and a miss and a cutter up and away Strike three That is four strikeouts for Quantrol Two down in the fourth Henry Davis can do something big here Second inning He’s singled to right center One two coming Called strike three with a splitter that catches the bottom of the zone and Quantrol works a one two three fourth He’s got five punch outs Fifth inning Connor Norby leads off against Bailey Falter Pirates lead at one- nothing Well four innings is like eight holes The way he’s pitching right now he’s birdied the first eight Norby down on strikes Beautiful slider right there He is in complete control right now Joe I mean look where this starts Basically on the outer edge to the righty and ends up on the inner half or even off the plate truthfully Dane Myers 32 Oh look what I found Line right back to Falter Ball stuck in his glove Yeah I would say the scattering report did not do them much good today I don’t think he moved his glove at all Well now it’s Nick Forez It’s a ground ball hit through the left side A base hit for Nick He’s two for two today Two out knock That brings up Javier Senoha Sizable lead at first and Senoha yanks that fair over the bag at third Rolling down the left field line It hits that jut out and Fortz will arrive safely at third A double for Javier Senoha who’s bit of trouble for Bailey Falter Two outs He has to get one here Third time up for Xavier Edwards It is 3-1 pitch taken inside Ball four Base is loaded for Augustine So Falter who was it just 38 pitches through the first four innings a 23 pitch inning so far Augustine Ramirez with the bases loaded and a line drive to right field and right at Reynolds who makes the catch Sigh of relief for Falter Bottom half of the fifth inning for the Pirates One- nothing Bucks And that is ball four A fast ball away It’s first and second Opportunity for the Pirates to add to a lead here Two on for McCutchen The pitch drive to left center field Senoa going back to the track looking up and it is gone There it is Andrew McCutchen in third place all by himself Only Stargillan Ker ahead of Andrew McCutchen on the alltime Pirates home run list 241 And that was a big one It is 4 nothing in the fifth Andrew McCutchen and this crowd will no doubt want to ask him to come back out as he goes down the dugout steps They’re aware of it A historical moment at PNC Park Andrew McCutchen asking for a curtain call There it is Truly remarkable We’re in the top of the sixth inning It’s four nothing Pirates The heart of the order for the Marlins again Bailey Falter lefty Roberto Hernandez right hand batter Harry Bberto Hernandez sends one high and deep to center field Cruz going back Warning track Whoa Looking up Gone Eric Bberto Hernandez the only Marlin that’s been able to crack Bailey Falter today It’s his second extra base hit It’s his first major league home run And it comes here in the top of the sixth inning Well he hit it in the perfect spot to be able to get his first home run ball right in that Marlin bullpen And just like McCutchen got a hanging splitter well so did Hernandez How about this road trip that he has had It’s Braxton Ash Crab the rookie righty Have managed first and third trailing by three with one away here in the sixth Sanchez is the potential tying run Bouncing ball to first off the minute of Horitz He recovers Only plays to first for the out Wagaman scores from third Norby to second And the Marlins have played their second run of the inning They’re down four to2 now in the top of the sixth from the bottom of the eighth inning as Adam Frasier comes to the plate and the bases loaded with one out in the air the other way and coming over to make the catch The left fielder Sanchez tagging and scoring is Reynolds Ball cut off Sack fly for Frasier Pirates take a 5-2 lead in the eighth Nice uh job going the other way You know Frasier does that well anyway Pirates scoring easily there Pirates are leading 52 Ninth inning David Bednar comes on to try and get the save for Bailey Falter Two down in the ninth Here’s Xavier Edwards Two two pitch Swinging a miss He struck him out with 98 heat And heat might define the Pirates heating up And one we’ll remember for a long time with Andrew McCutchen hitting the three-run home

  1. when the bats are going we are great but then we have stretches where everyone's off its terrible. its like the pirates are really good on paper but just cant get over the hump

  2. This team has captured my heart!! I am in Texas but I watch every Pirates game I can. They're such a good group of guys!
    I hope one day I can watch them play in person!

  3. What a game, congratulations to Andrew McCutcheon he really is a great home run hitter. just think if the pirates could create an All-Star team what it would look like

  4. As someone who is old enough to have sat at Forbes Field and Three Rivers and watched The Great One, Roberto Clemente, I can't think of a more worthy Bucco to pass him on the HR list than Andrew McCutchen. Roberto would be applauding, Cutch.
