  "account": "Braxton Ashcraft delivered a complete-game three-hitter for the Pittsburgh Pirates, allowing the Miami Marlins to be routed 13-1 on Thursday. Rafael Flores contributed significantly with two three-run homers, while the team scored a total of 13 runs. Jared Triolo and Jacob Gonzalez also hit home runs for Pittsburgh, ending a three-game losing streak. Jake Mangum went 3 for 4 with three runs scored, making a notable impact. Ashcraft struck out 10 while walking just one in his 85-pitch outing, aided by three double plays. The right-hander was the first Pirate to throw a complete game under 100 pitches since 2017. This victory marked the first time the Pirates had won in their last three games.",
