Eury Prez outpitches Paul Skenes and Esteury Ruiz homers as the Marlins beat
the Pirates 2-0
MIAMI (AP) --- Eury Prez allowed three hits over seven innings, Esteury Ruiz
homered and the Miami Marlins beat Paul Skenes and the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-0
on Tuesday night.
Prez (6-9) struck out three straight Pirates to start the game and surrendered
only three singles --- two in the third and one in his final inning. The
right-hander fanned seven and walked two, throwing 100 pitches. He hasn't
surrendered a homer in seven straight starts.
Michael Petersen struck out two in the eighth and Pete Fairbanks retired the
side in order in the ninth for his 18th save in 21 opportunities.
Skenes (9-11) left after five innings and 65 pitches. He allowed two runs ---
one earned --- on five hits. The reigning NL Cy Young Award winner struck out
four and walked one after entering with a 3-3 record and a 6.26 ERA in his
previous eight starts.
Ruiz hit his sixth home run, a one-out solo shot in the third to put Miami
ahead.
Skenes struck out Owen Caissie with runners on second and third to end the
fourth and keep it 1-0.
Ruiz was hit by a one-out pitch in the fifth before pulling off a delayed
steal. Xavier Edwards reached on an infield single and Ruiz scored on shortstop
Jacob Gonzalez's throwing error on the play. Bryan Reynolds robbed Griffin
Conine of a two-out homer to left field to keep it 2-0.
Yohan Ramrez followed Skenes and allowed only a walk, striking out four over
three scoreless innings.
Miami (61-59) finished off its 12th shutout and has won three straight
following a four-game skid.
Pittsburgh (58-63) has lost two straight and six of its last seven after being
shut out for the 12th time.
Miami placed first baseman Kyle Stowers on the 10-day injured list before the
game with a left hamstring strain. The Marlins recalled Graham Pauley from
Triple-A Jacksonville to take his place.
