In their first game following a memorable Opening Day, the Marlins suffered a 4-3 defeat to the Pittsburgh Pirates highlighted by four fielding errors and a lackluster offense. Right-hander Connor Gillispie, making his major league debut, initially performed well before being let down by his team's defense. Key mistakes included a throwing error by Liam Hicks and a decision by first baseman Matt Mervis that resulted in extra runs for the Pirates. Despite the loss, Gillispie's performance garnered some praise, indicating potential for improvement in future outings.
"I heard 'cut' from someone behind me and my reaction took over. The throw was perfectly on-line and would have been an easy hop for the catcher to handle..."
"It's one of those where we watch the film, ask the guys their take on that and kind of go from there."
"It was alright, I just have to limit the walks. They kind of bit me in the butt but other than, it was fine."
"He threw the ball great. Got us through five innings and kept us in the ball game."
