Bailey Falter

Falter took a no-no into the seventh, but a blooper from Jonah Bride with one out in that inning took away his chance for history. The left-hander did have some issues with walks as seen in three free passes, but he was otherwise able to discombobulate the Marlins' lineup in one of his better career outings. He will try and repeat this success against the Cardinals with a scheduled matchup Tuesday.

The Pirates could have Bailey Falter go on normal rest, but they're opting for a bullpen day, as they try to space out the starts of their young stars. Mlodzinski threw 12 pitches on Sunday and hasn't thrown more than 2 1/3 innings in any outing this year, so this is a bullpen day for Pittsburgh.

Falter served up seven hits, including a two-run homer to Andres Chaparro in the opening frame, but managed to settle in afterwards to complete five frames. He struck out three and also issued two walks. He'll face off against the Marlins on Tuesday in his next outing.

The 27-year-old southpaw walked one and struck out two on the night. He allowed a two-run double to Josh Naylor in the opening inning then settled in and kept the Guardians off the board until they scratched out two more in the fourth inning. Falter got just three whiffs on 59 pitches on the night, posting an underwhelming CSW of just 24 percent. He'll look to improve upon his 4.41 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 81/34 K/BB ratio (116 1/3 innings) when he does battle against the Cubs on Wednesday in Chicago.

Naylor opened the scoring with a two-out, two-run double off of Bailey Falter in the opening inning. He added an RBI single in the fifth and scored on Jhonkensy Noel's two-run blast. Naylor also smacked an RBI single in the eighth inning that increased the Guardians' lead to 10-7 but appeared to roll his ankle in the process and was replaced by a pinch-runner. He'll head for further evaluation to determine the severity of the injury.
