Bucs use 8-run 2nd inning to rout Marlins

Taillon (2-0, 2.08) was barely tested, giving up one run in five innings, striking out four and walking two. The Pirates had season highs for runs scored and hits (18).

For Conley, it was a night to forget. The left-hander threw 41 pitches in the second inning alone, and was not able to complete the inning. Adeiny Hechavarria tripled in the third and scored on Martin Prado's single, producing the lone run allowed by Taillon.

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Twice as nice: Cervelli was mired in a 1-for-10 slump over the last three games, but in one inning the Pirates' catcher delivered two hits, scored two runs and drove in three more.
