Pittsburgh at Miami 4:10 ET
Pirates over Marlins- Pittsburgh has won the first two games of the season-opening series, including 7-2 on Friday. The Pirates are 2-0 for the first time since 2018. Pittsburgh starting pitcher Jared Jones entered spring training expecting to begin the season at the Triple-A level. Instead, the highly touted prospect will be on the mound for his major league debut when the Pirates play on Saturday. Jones earned a spot in the Pirates' rotation after tossing 16 1/3 scoreless innings across six games (five starts) in the Grapefruit League. Miami will send left-hander Ryan Weathers (1-8, 6.55 ERA in 2023) to the mound against the Pirates. Weathers solidified his spot in the rotation after recording a 3.00 ERA and a 21-to-4 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 18 innings during spring training.  He had a 7.62 ERA in three games (two starts) with Miami after being acquired last August. National League batting champion Luis Arraez is 0-for-10 for the Marlins, who have hit into seven double plays through two games. Take PITTSBURGH!
