MIAMI (AP) — Jared Triolo hit a RBI single in the top of the 12th inning to finish the Pittsburgh Pirates' rally and beat the Miami Marlins 6-5 on opening day Thursday.
Triolo's line drive single against Marlins reliever Declan Cronin (0-1) scored automatic runner Ke’Bryan Hayes. Pirates reliever Jose Hernandez got the save, retiring 2023 NL batting champion Luis Arraez, Josh Bell and Bryan De La Cruz in his only inning of relief.
Luis Ortiz recorded the win for the Pirates.
After Pirates starter Mitch Keller gave up seven hits, five runs (four earned), walked two and struck out three over 5.2 innings, Pittsburgh’s bullpen held the Marlins to just one hit.
