The Pittsburgh Pirates downed the Miami Marlins 6-4 at PNC Park on Tuesday night.

It was a bullpen game for the Pirates, who used seven different pitchers with Joey Wentz getting his first win with the team. Andrew McCutchen took some stress off the bullpen by hitting a three-run home run to help ensure a victory.

In the series finale on Wednesday, the Pirates (69-76) will go for the seven-game season sweep over the Marlins (54-91) and their eighth-straight win against Miami dating back to last season.
