The Marlins lost Giancarlo Stanton early, the result of a 95-mph fastball that clipped the slugger’s right wrist and sent him to the training room.
They lost the game late when reliever David Phelps allowed a two-run lead to slip through his grasp in an eventual 7-6 setback to the Pirates on Saturday at PNC Park.
All things considered, it could have turned out worse for the Marlins.
The initial diagnosis provided by the Marlins on the oft-injured Stanton was a bruised wrist. X-rays were negative, and he was listed as day to day.
Stanton was struck by a Trevor Williams fastball in the first inning and winced in pain as he made his way slowly to first base.
