The Pittsburgh Pirates’ nightmare opening series continued. For the third time in four games to begin the year, the Pirates (1-3) suffered a walk-off loss at the hands of the Miami Marlins.

Derek Hill reached on an infield single against David Bednar to begin the bottom of the ninth. Hill then stole second base and advanced to third on a throwing error from catcher Endy Rodríguez. Bednar (0-2) then delivered a wild pitch, allowing Hill to score easily and give the Marlin a 3-2 win on Sunday afternoon at loanDepot Park.
