Stowers Hits Run-scoring Single In 9th To Lift Marlins To 5-4 Win Over Pirates
Kyle Stowers hit a run-scoring single in the ninth inning to give Miami a 5-4 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday in the debut of Marlins manager Clayton McCullough.
Nick Fortes tripled to lead off the inning against reliever David Bednar 0-1 and Xavier Edwards was intentionally walked. After Edwards stole second, Stowers sent a line drive to right that scored pinch runner Javier Sanoja.
Jesus Tinoco 1-0 pitched the ninth for the win.
The Marlins rallied tied it at 4-all on consecutive run-scoring singles by Otto Lopez and Dane Myers in the eighth.
Pirates starter Paul Skenes, the reigning NL Rookie of the Year, struck out seven over 5 1/3 innings of two-run ball. Skenes gave up three hits and walked two.
