The Pittsburgh Pirates pulled off a 3-0 shutout over the Miami Marlins on Sunday at PNC Park. The Marlins were swept in the three-game series. They return home to take on the Atlanta Braves on Monday.
Jeff Karstens(3-2) pitched seven innings of shutout ball and surrendered five hits. Anibal Sanchez(5-7) got the loss as he gave up three runs on seven hits in seven innings and struck out eight Pirates.
Pittsburgh took the early lead in the first inning. Alex Presley led off with a single to left field and stole second after Neil Walker struck out. Andrew McCutchen followed as he knocked an RBI-single into center field to score Presley.
Pedro Alvarez extended the Pirates lead to 3-0 in the seventh inning with a two-run homer to right field on a 0-1 count. Casey McGehee had doubled to deep right field prior to that. It was the 21st home run by Alvarez this season.
