Tsutsugo reached on an infield single with two outs and scored from first on an error by Anderson at third on a Diego Castillo's ground ball down the left-field line.

The Marlins loaded the bases with one out in the eighth off Chase De Jong, but Garcia hit into an inning-ending double play.

The Pirates also failed to capitalize on several scoring opportunities earlier in the game.

Ke'Bryan Hayes tripled to right field with one out in the first, but Garrett came back to strike out Michael Chavis and then got Tsutsugo to ground out to second.

The Pirates also left a runner in scoring position in the second, fourth and fifth innings before Garrett struck out the side in the sixth.

Anthony Bass relieved Garrett to start the seventh and surrendered back-to-back singles to Jake Marisnick and Oneil Cruz to put runners on the corners. But Daniel Vogelbach struck out, Cruz was caught stealing second and Marisnick was later caught stealing home to end the inning.

Both teams had a runner on third with one out in the 10th and couldn't score.
