Pittsburgh (10-4) vs. Miami (4-10) Saturday, April 14, 2018 Marlins Park, Miami, FL Club 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E LOB Pittsburgh 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 5 0 5 Miami 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 0 9 Win: George Kontos (1-1, 5.14; 1.0 ip, 2 h) Attendance: Game – 26,816 Loss: Brad Ziegler (0-3, 8.10; 1.0 ip, 3 h, r, er) Season –147, 438 Save: Felipe Vazquez (5) Time: 2:31 2B: PIT – Cervelli (3) 3B: PIT – None MIA – None MIA –None HR: PIT – None SB: PIT – None MIA – None MIA – None Marlins Notes: Marlins starter Trevor Richards tossed a career-high 7.0 innings tonight, allowing just two hits and one walk, while striking out two. He needed just 82 pitches (49 strikes) to get through the outing. Richards is the first Marlins rookie starter to work 7.0+ innings and allow two-or-fewer hits since Justin Nicolino on Sept. 26, 2015 vs. Atlanta (7.0 ip, 2 h). He is the 15th rookie in Club history to do so (22nd time). It was Miami’s longest scoreless start since Dillon Peters completed 7.0 frames on September 1, 2017 vs. Philadelphia, his MLB debut. Miami starting pitchers have allowed three-or-fewer runs in seven of the last eight games, and five straight. During the five-game streak, they have gone 1-1 with a 3.09 ERA (32.0 ip/11 er), and the team is 2-4. Miguel Rojas extended his season-long hitting streak to seven games (.357/10x28); it is one game shy of tying his career-best streak, which he has achieved twice (last, September 10-23, 2017). This was Miami’s 41st 1-0 loss in Club history, the first since July 3, 2017 vs. Washington, the second ever against Pittsburgh (also, September 14, 1993 at home, in a 6.0-inning game). Pirates Notes: Corey Dickerson extended his hitting streak to nine games; he is batting .444 (16x36) with seven doubles, a triple, a home run, and nine RBI during the streak. He had a seven-game extra-base hit streak snapped. Dickerson extended the streak with a bunt-single in the ninth, driving in the game-winning run. It was his third go-ahead and second game-winning RBI of the season. Pittsburgh entered the game with no bunt hits on the season. Starling Marte opened the ninth-inning rally with a bunt single, two batters before Dickerson added his own. Jameson Taillon tossed 6.0 scoreless innings, allowing four hits and three walks, with two strikeouts. He threw 93 pitches (58 strikes), and Miami was 0x5 with runners in scoring position against him. It was his second consecutive scoreless start, coming on the heels of his first career shutout on April 8 vs. Cincinnati. He now has a scoreless-innings streak of 15.0 frames; his career-long streak is 18.1, from June 23 to July 15, 2017. 4/14/2018 gd2.mlb.com/content/game/mlb/year_2018/month_04/day_14/gid_2018_04_14_pitmlb_miamlb_1/bis_boxscore.html Pittsburgh Pirates (10-4) 1, Miami Marlins (4-10) 0 April 14, 2018 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Pittsburgh 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 5 0 Miami 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 0 Pittsburgh AVG AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO PO A Harrison, 2B .268 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 3 3 Polanco, RF .220 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 Marte, CF .241 4 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 Bell, 1B .278 4 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 14 0 Dickerson, C, LF .347 4 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 3 0 Cervelli, C .279 3 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 3 1 Moran, 3B .316 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 Mercer, SS .227 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 6 Taillon, P .143 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 Feliz, M, P .000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 a-Frazier, A, PH .280 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 Kontos, P .000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Vazquez, P .000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Totals .265 30 1 5 1 0 0 1 2 4 27 15 a-Walked for Feliz, M in the 8th.
