The Miami Marlins beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-0 on Tuesday night, with Eury Pérez limiting Pittsburgh’s offense and Esteury Ruiz hitting a home run. Pérez allows three hits over seven innings, striking out three straight batters at the start and giving up only a pair of singles in the third inning and a single in his final frame.
Paul Skenes takes the loss for the Pirates as Miami’s offense produces its runs without a rally large enough to change the game’s low-scoring nature. After Pérez’s outing, Michael Petersen strikes out two batters in the eighth inning, and Pete Fairbanks finishes the game by retiring the side in order in the ninth. Fairbanks records his 18th save in 21 opportunities.
Both outlets describe the same key sequence—Pérez’s dominant run prevention, Ruiz’s homer, and Pittsburgh failing to score against Miami’s late relief—resulting in the Pirates being blanked.
