In each of the three defeats of Pittsburgh, Miami won fashionable. Sunday’s game saw the gardener of the Marlins Griffin Conine tie the game with a solo homer in the seventh entrance, while Derek Hill scored the winning race of the game in a wild release.
The pirates were the first team to lose their first three games through walks since 1924, according to MLB.com, citing the Sports Office of Elias. The last team to do it was the pirates of 1924, who won 90 games that season and then won the World Series in 1925.
“It’s a challenge,” said Pirates manager Derek Shelton. “We have some things to work on.”

“Block and do little things,” said the veteran gardener of the Pirates, Andrew McCutchen, to the journalists of the message in the locker room. “I will continue hitting that because if you don’t, this is the situation and this is what can happen.
“This is the result when small things do not do well. Execute when you need to run, do the things you should do when you are hitting and we will be fine. But when you don’t do that, it ends 1-3”.
The pirates begin a set of three games with the Rays of Tampa Bay on Monday.
