Miami Marlins at Pittsburgh Pirates – Where to Watch, Stream Info, TV Channel, and Live Updates (June 12, 2026)

Miami has been one of the hottest teams in baseball over the past two weeks, and they carry that momentum into Pittsburgh riding a five-game winning streak and an 8-2 record over their last ten. The Marlins just dismantled Arizona, holding the Diamondbacks to three hits in a 2-0 shutout to cap the sweep, and their offense has been relentless — 15 hits in one game, 10 in the next. This is a team that has found something.

Pittsburgh is not standing still. The Pirates sit at 35-34, one game above .500, and they know what this stretch of the schedule means. They’ve gone 4-6 over their last ten, but they’re at home, where they’ve built a 19-17 record, and they have the pitching to make any opponent uncomfortable.

Otto Lopez is the engine driving Miami’s offense, hitting .344 with 93 hits and 42 runs scored. For Pittsburgh, Brandon Lowe has been a consistent power threat with 16 home runs and 45 RBI. These two clubs are separated by a single game in the standings, and the gap between them could look very different by the final out.

Game Preview

At 34-35, Miami sits 11.5 games back in the division, but a team winning eight of its last ten is not thinking about the gap — it’s thinking about the next game. Pittsburgh at 35-34 is 7.5 games back and chasing a postseason berth the franchise hasn’t reached since 2015. Every game in this range of the standings carries weight, and a Miami club playing with this kind of confidence is exactly the kind of opponent that can define where a Pittsburgh season goes. The Pirates need wins at home, and the Marlins are coming to take them.

What to Watch For

The pitching matchup gives this game a clear focal point. Braxton Ashcraft takes the mound for Pittsburgh carrying a 3.28 ERA and five wins — he’s been one of the more reliable starters in the Pittsburgh rotation and will need to be sharp against a Miami lineup that has been punishing pitching all week. Opposing him is Sandy Alcantara, who is 5-4 with a 4.33 ERA and 64 strikeouts. Alcantara has the stuff to dominate, and a strong outing here would add another layer to Miami’s surge.

On the offensive side, Xavier Edwards gives Miami a multidimensional threat — hitting .304 with six home runs, 23 RBI, 42 runs scored, and 11 stolen bases. He creates problems in multiple ways. For Pittsburgh, Spencer Horwitz has been steady at .291 with nine home runs and 30 RBI, and Ryan O’Hearn adds pop at .284 with 10 home runs and 34 RBI.

Pittsburgh is navigating the absence of Oneil Cruz, who is on the injured list with a hand injury, and Konnor Griffin is also out with a flexor tendon issue. Jake Mangum, hitting .295 with 11 stolen bases, has the speed and contact ability to help fill the void in the lineup.
