Andrew McCutchen hit a milestone three-run home run in the fifth inning to help the Pittsburgh Pirates defeat the Miami Marlins 5-2.

The Pirates continued their recent surge, winning for the fifth time in six games, and concluded a nine-game homestand with six wins. The Marlins have lost eight of their last 10.

Andrew McCutchen passed franchise icon Roberto Clemente among the Pittsburgh Pirates’ all-time home run leaders in grand fashion, with a 405-foot, three-run blast that was the cause for celebration. And required a curtain call.

Sandy Alcantara struck out six in six shutout innings, and the Miami Marlins edged the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-2.

Reynolds’ big hit highlighted a four-run third inning and came off returning Marlins’ starter Eury Perez (0-1), who made his first start since Sept. 20, 2023, after undergoing Tommy John surgery in April 2024. Miami lost for the seventh time in its past eight games and is 3-10 over its past 13.

Adam Frazier and Andrew McCutchen each had three hits and an RBI, and Bryan Reynolds had two hits including a bases-clearing triple to help the host Pittsburgh Pirates top the Miami Marlins 10-3 on Monday night.

Eury Perez had to wait a bit longer for his return to the mound with weather delaying the Marlins game against the Pirates in Pittsburgh.

Mitch Keller (1-9) faced the minimum through the first two innings but allowed a two-run home run to Nick Fortes in the third to break a scoreless tie.
