The Pittsburgh Pirates have started their season with a remarkable 4-0 record, sweeping the Miami Marlins in their opening series. This marks the first time the Pirates have begun a season with a 4-0 record since 2018, and it's only the fourth occurrence in the past 40 years. The series finale saw the Pirates defeating the Marlins 9-7 in a 10-inning game, highlighted by a 421-foot homer by Avisail Garcia and Stratton's first MLB save. Notable performances included a three-run homer by Tellez in the 7th inning and strategic bunts by Williams and Delay in the 10th that led to taking the lead. The Marlins, on the other hand, have started their season 0-4 for the first time since 2001. This series has highlighted the Pirates' strong start and the Marlins' struggles out of the gate.
