PITTSBURGH -- The Pirates' outfield is regarded as one of the best in the Majors, and it flashed some leather in a 6-5 loss to the Marlins on Friday night at PNC Park.

Starling Marte notched his National League-leading 15th outfield assist when he threw out Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto at the plate in the fourth inning.
