The Marlins have won the last six games in this series, holding the Pirates to three or fewer runs in five of those six contests. This is Miami's second-longest win streak versus Pittsburgh in franchise history; they took eight straight, October 2, 2010-September 11, 2011.

The Pirates have struggled defensively this season, committing 20 errors (t-2nd, MLB), including 1+ in each of their last six contests. They finished 2016 with the third most errors in the majors.

Miami's loss to the Phillies on Thursday's dropped the Marlins to 4-5 this season when they give up the first run of a game.

Of Marcell Ozuna's 21 total runs batted in this season, 18 of them have come with runners in scoring position (3rd, MLB). But Ozuna is in a bit of a slump, going 1-for-17 (.059) with just 1 RBI over his last four games.

Jameson Taillon has allowed just one run (which was unearned) in his 14.0 innings of work in road games this season. The last Pirates' pitcher to have a longer streak from the start of his season without allowing any earned runs on the road was Jeff Karstens, who had an 18.0-inning streak, August 1-September 7, 2008.

Adam Conley has struggled a bit in the first inning of his starts this season (6.00 ERA, .333 opp BA), but has settled down quickly, posting a 1.93 ERA and .149 opponent average from the second inning on (stats excludes his one relief appearance this year).

HP - Timmons, 1B - Hoye, 2B - Little, 3B - Kellogg
