PITTSBURGH—Andrew McCutchen hit a three-run blast to reach the 20-homer plateau for the 10th time in his career and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Miami Marlins 6–4 on Tuesday night.

The 37-year-old designated hitter turned on a fastball from Miami’s Adam Oller (1–3) with two on and two out in the fifth inning and sent it into the first row of bleachers in left field to give Pittsburgh a five-run lead.
