Conine, Hernández homers, Junk’s solid 6 innings lead Marlins to an 8-2 win over Pirates
In a recent game, Griffin Conine and Heriberto Hernández each hit a home run while Janson Junk pitched six solid innings. The Miami Marlins extended their winning streak to four games with an 8-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Conine reached base five times, including a crucial double off Carmen Mlodzinski in the third inning, and Hernández followed with a walk before driving in the lead with a double.
After Mlodzinski was charged with four runs on five hits, Tyler Zuber, Calvin Faucher, and Victor Vodnik each contributed a scoreless inning of relief. Conine's 13th home run off former Marlins reliever Lake Bachar put the Marlins ahead 6-2 in the fourth inning. Hernández's 17th home run in the sixth inning extended the Marlins' lead to six runs.
The Pirates scored a run in the second inning and added another run in the fourth due to a sacrifice fly by Valdez.
