The Marlins are clawing their way into the Wild Card race with a 60-59 record and just 3.5 games behind—ready to make a statement against Pirates ace Paul Skenes in a must-win series opener. With Skenes dominating at 9-10, 3.96 ERA, and 162 strikeouts, Miami counters with Eury Perez and a revamped lineup led by Xavier Edwards, Otto Lopez, and Griffin Conine’s two-homer surge. Manager Clayton McCullough is betting everything on this game as every win becomes critical in the playoff chase.
