With their win on Tuesday, the Pirates can complete the series, and season, sweep of the Miami Marlins.

Andrew McCutchen hit his 20th home run of the season, the eighth time he’s done it in a Pirates’ uniform. Only Willie Stargell has done that in franchise history.

Seven relievers combined in the bullpen game, with Carmen Mlodzinski opening and Joey Wents getting the win. Aroldis Chapman also picked up his eighth save of the season.

Bailey Falter will pitch in the series finale for the Pirates, with the first pitch expected around 12:35 pm ET.
