Miami Marlins (34-35) at Pittsburgh Pirates (35-34) — Game Preview
The Miami Marlins and Pittsburgh Pirates meet today at PNC Park separated by a single game in the standings, with Miami sitting at 34-35 and Pittsburgh at 35-34.

Behind him, catcher Liam Hicks has supplied the power, pacing the club with 12 home runs and 48 RBIs while batting .265. On the Pittsburgh side, third baseman Nick Gonzales has been the contact engine at .302 with a .353 on-base percentage. Second baseman Brandon Lowe stretches the Pirates lineup with 16 home runs and 45 RBIs, the kind of left-handed pop that can flip an inning at PNC Park.

Players to Watch: Miami Marlins vs. Pittsburgh Pirates
Miami Marlins
Otto Lopez — SS. Lopez has been the Marlins’ most reliable bat, hitting .344 with a .372 on-base percentage out of the shortstop spot. His .489 slugging shows he is doing more than slapping singles, driving the ball into the gaps to set up the middle of the order.
Liam Hicks — C. Hicks gives Miami its primary power source behind the plate, leading the team with 12 home runs and 48 RBIs. He pairs that production with a .265 average, keeping the lineup honest from a position where offense is a bonus.
Pittsburgh Pirates
Nick Gonzales — 3B. Gonzales has carried the contact load for Pittsburgh, batting .302 with a .353 on-base percentage from the hot corner. His .374 slugging points to a line-drive approach that keeps innings moving rather than chasing the long ball.
Brandon Lowe — 2B. Lowe supplies the thump in the Pirates order with 16 home runs and 45 RBIs as a left-handed bat at second base. The .249 average sits below Gonzales, but the extra-base damage makes him the lineup’s clearest threat to change the score with one swing.
