McCutchen's Homer Leads Pirates to Victory

Andrew McCutchen's three-run homer propelled the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 6-4 victory over the Miami Marlins, marking his 20th home run of the season and the 10th time he has reached this milestone in his 16-year MLB career. McCutchen's blast came off Miami's Adam Oller in the fifth inning, extending Pittsburgh's lead to 6-1. The Pirates have now won three consecutive games, with Bryan Reynolds and Isaiah Kiner-Falefa contributing significantly. On the other hand, Joe Musgrove of the San Diego Padres struggled against the San Francisco Giants, giving up three homers in one inning and leading to a 7-6 loss. The Giants' rookies, including Grant McCray, who had a two-homer game, were pivotal in the win. Both teams are navigating competitive pressures as the season progresses.
