Miami (36-36) secured its fourth consecutive series win and returned to .500 by improving to 10-2 in June.
The 27-year-old Meyer allowed one run on six hits – all singles – and three walks, lowering his ERA to 2.75. He struck out a season-high-tying nine batters in his fifth quality start of 2026.
Meyer (7-0) is the only pitcher in Marlins history to not be charged with a loss through 15 starts to begin a season, which also marks the longest such streak in the Majors since the Dodgers’ Tony Gonsolin (17 games from April 9-July 13, 2022). He entered Sunday’s series finale tied for 11th among NL pitchers in fWAR (1.8).
Pittsburgh could only scratch one run across against Meyer, and it was courtesy of some fortuitous luck.
With Miami ahead 2-0 in the fourth, Nick Gonzales led off the inning with a bloop single to right. Tyler Callihan then shot a pitch to the left side of the infield between third baseman Connor Norby and shortstop Otto Lopez, who went to cover second with Xavier Edwards shifted further on the right side. Former Marlins farmhand Jake Mangum followed with an RBI single.
After a mound visit, Meyer struck out two of the next three batters to keep it a 2-1 ballgame.
The Pirates threatened again in the fifth, when Meyer loaded the bases with two outs. It looked as though Pittsburgh would take the lead on Mangum’s liner to the right-center gap, but Jakob Marsee made a diving catch to rob him of extra bases and keep Meyer in line for the win.
The last time Meyer pitched at PNC Park, on July 23, 2022, he exited his second career start after just two outs due to right elbow discomfort. He would go on to have Tommy John surgery, which kept him out until April 1, 2024.
Miami’s lineup did just enough against Skenes, slugging a pair of solo homers in the second.
Heriberto Hernández opened the frame by drilling Skenes’ inside four-seamer to left-center for his sixth home run of the season, and fourth of the month. With two outs, Joe Mack deposited Skenes’ changeup on the outside corner to straightaway center for his second career tater.
The Marlins added a pair of insurance runs in the eighth against righty Brandan Bidois on RBI knocks from Kyle Stowers and Edwards.
