Eury Pérez outpitches Paul Skenes and Esteury Ruiz homers as the Marlins beat the Pirates 2-0

Miami Marlins secured a 2-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night, with Eury Pérez pitching a solid game and Esteury Ruiz contributing with a homer. Pérez, who allowed three hits over seven innings, struck out three Pirates in a row to begin the game and kept the score low, surrendering only three singles. Ruiz's lone homer in the third inning put Miami ahead, and Skenes, who had entered with a 9-11 record, allowed two runs on five hits before exiting after five innings.

Michael Petersen and Pete Fairbanks helped preserve the win, with Fairbanks earning his 18th save in 21 opportunities. The Marlins, who ended their 12-game shutout streak with this victory, have now won three straight games following a four-game slump. The Pirates, struggling with two consecutive losses and six of their last seven games, have not announced a starting pitcher for their next game.
