It just keeps getting uglier for the Pirates. Pittsburgh fell 8-to-2 to the Marlins Wednesday night at loanDepot Park, dropping their third straight and falling to 5-and-a-half games back of the final N-L Wild Card spot. Carmen Mlodzinski got the start and couldn’t hold an early 1-0 lead — Jacob Gonzalez had driven in that first run — before Miami answered with three unanswered runs by the third inning and never let up. The Pirates are now a stunning 8-and-16 since the All-Star break.
Pittsburgh tries to avoid the sweep Thursday afternoon, with Braxton Ashcraft on the mound in the series finale against Miami.
