PITTSBURGH (AP) — Max Meyer allowed one run in six innings, stranding nine runners in the Miami Marlins’ 4-2 victory over Paul Skenes and the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.
Meyer (7-0) gave up six hits, walked three and hit a batter, but he struck out nine.
Skenes (6-6), who fell to 0-4 in six starts since last winning on May 12, gave up home runs to Heriberto Hernández and Joe Mack in the second inning. The Pirates ace set a career high with 23 swings and misses and struck out 10, including the side in the fourth and sixth. He gave up four hits with one walk in six innings.
Miami, which took two of three games from Pittsburgh, has won seven of eight and 10 of 12 in June.
Hernández opened the scoring by sending a Skenes fastball 403 feet into the left-field bleachers. Mack drove a changeup 424 feet to center, putting the Marlins ahead 2-0.
The Pirates started the fourth with three straight singles, capped by Jake Mangum driving in Nick Gonzales. Meyer retired the next three batters, including strikeouts of Jared Triolo and Spencer Horwitz.
Meyer hit Tyler Callihan with a pitch to load the bases with two outs the following inning. Mangum then sent a sharp liner to right-center, but centerfielder Jakob Marsee charged for a diving catch to rob a likely go-ahead double.
Pittsburgh had two runners in scoring position with two outs in the seventh before Calvin Faucher ended the threat with a strikeout of Callihan. It left on 11 total runners.
Kyle Stowers and Xavier Edwards pushed the lead to 4-1 with a pair of RBI singles off Brandan Bidois in the eighth.
Pete Fairbanks, who picked up his ninth save, struck out two in the ninth before surrendering a two-out homer to Bryan Reynolds.
Marlins: RHP Ryan Gusto (0-1, 6.00 ERA) takes the mound Monday to begin a three-game series in Philadelphia opposite Phillies RHP Zack Wheeler (5-1, 2.22 ERA).
Pirates: RHP Jared Jones (1-0, 4.73 ERA) starts Monday to open a three-game set at the Athletics against RHP J.T. Ginn (4-3, 3.15 ERA).

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Spencer Horwitz was hit by a pitch from Anthony Bender with the bases loaded in the eighth inning to bring in the go-ahead run and give the Pittsburgh Pirates a 3-2 win over Miami on Saturday, ending the Marlins’ six-game win streak.
Bender (1-1) struck out the first two batters of the inning before surrendering singles to Tyler Callihan and Jake Mangum and walking Jared Triolo. On the first pitch following a mound visit, Bender hit Horwitz with a 97 mph sinker to bring home Callihan.
The Marlins, who had won nine of 10 in June, got a leadoff single from Otto Lopez and a walk to Xavier Edwards in their half of the eighth, but Yohan Ramírez (4-2) struck out the next three batters.
Gregory Soto gave up a leadoff single to Esteury Ruiz in the ninth before retiring three straight for his 10th save.
Ryan O’Hearn put Pittsburgh ahead in the first with a one-out single off Lake Bachar through the right side of the infield.
Liam Hicks tied it on a line-drive single with two outs in the third, but Bryan Reynolds gave the Pirates’ a 2-1 lead in the bottom half with an RBI double into the gap in left-center.
Reynolds robbed Heriberto Hernández of a potential tying home run the following inning. Hernández had a called third strike overturned on a successful ABS challenge before sending the next pitch deep to left, backing Reynolds to the wall for a leaping grab.
Hernández tied it 2-all by dropping a single into left field with two outs in the sixth after Mason Montgomery relieved rookie right-hander Bubba Chandler, who allowed two runs on three hits with six strikeouts and one walk in 5 2/3 innings.
Pirates RHP Paul Skenes (6-5, 2.84 ERA), looking for his first win since May 12, takes the mound in the series finale Sunday against Marlins RHP Max Meyer (6-0, 2.85).

Tied at 2 going into the seventh, the Marlins scored four runs off reliever Wilber Dotel (1-2). Xavier Edwards brought home the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly, Heriberto Hernandez had an RBI single and Caissie broke it open with his double off the fence in center.
Liam Hicks added a two-run home run in the eighth off Antoine Kelly, who was making his major league debut, to make it 8-2. Hicks finished 3 for 4 with a double and three runs.
Endy Rodriguez homered and doubled for the Pirates, who lost for the sixth in seven games. Brandon Lowe went deep in the bottom of the eighth after the Pirates had fallen behind by six runs.

PITTSBURGH–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Jun 12, 2026– Wells Fargo today announced a $1 million donation to support skilled trades, training and workforce development in Pennsylvania through its ongoing partnership with the mikeroweWORKS Foundation.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260612212615/en/
U.S. Senator Dave McCormick (R-PA) was on hand at an event at Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC) to show his support, underscoring the importance of continued philanthropic investment in workforce development across the state.
“Pennsylvania’s future depends on a strong, skilled workforce that can meet the demands of a growing economy,” said Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA). “I applaud Wells Fargo and mikeroweWORKS Foundation for their commitment to the Commonwealth. Partnerships like this help expand workforce training opportunities, strengthen communities, and ensure more Pennsylvanians can access good-paying jobs and build successful careers.”
This latest philanthropic investment builds on more than $10 million Wells Fargo has provided over the past two years in partnership with the mikeroweWORKS Foundation to advance skilled trades initiatives nationwide.
The demand for skilled workers across Pennsylvania in trades such as electrical, plumbing, welding, and HVAC is growing at an unprecedented pace. Wells Fargo’s contribution aims to help address this critical workforce.
“This $1 million philanthropic investment reflects Wells Fargo’s commitment to strengthening Pennsylvania’s workforce pipeline, supporting communities, and driving economic growth – an investment in the people of Pennsylvania is an investment in the long-term growth of Pennsylvania,” said Jason Rosenberg, Head of Public Affairs at Wells Fargo.
Through this expanded partnership with Wells Fargo and the mikeroweWORKS Foundation, funding will support scholarships, training programs, and awareness efforts designed to increase participation in skilled trades careers across the Keystone State.
“The demand for skilled labor in Pennsylvania has never been more urgent. By investing in partnerships with Wells Fargo, we are helping to build stronger communities while supporting industries that keep our economy moving. This is about more than workforce development, it’s about opening doors and creating long-term economic mobility,” said Mike Rowe, of the mikeroweWORKS Foundation.
The mikeroweWORKS Foundation has spent 18 years championing the importance of skilled trades, working to debunk misconceptions and connect individuals with training and career opportunities that are essential to the nation’s economic growth.

NEW YORK (AP) — SpaceX shares shot 23% higher as the rocket maker’s shares soared in their debut on Wall Street and made CEO Elon Musk the first-ever trillionaire.
The shares opened at $150 and kept rising, reaching $166.90 around 12:.20 p.m. ET. That price gave the company a market value of $2.18 trillion. Forbes is now estimating Musk’s net worth at $1.1 trillion.
Institutional and retail investors jumped at the opportunity to buy 555.6 million shares of SpaceX at the offering price of $135 apiece. The $75 billion in proceeds easily topped the previous record IPO from oil giant Saudi Aramco in 2019.
Musk says SpaceX is going public now because it needs money to fund its ambitions of putting satellites and data centers in space and eventually establishing a colony of people on Mars.
Musk earlier marked the opening of trading on Nasdaq, where the company’s are trading under the symbol “SPCX,” by joining a ceremonial bell ringing from Starbase, the South Texas home of SpaceX.
He reiterated his lofty goals “to make life multi-planetary.”
“Not just a few astronauts, I mean literally you,” Musk said. “Whoever you are watching this, SpaceX wants to be able to take you to the moon, take you to Mars and ultimately beyond.”
Known for his brilliant technology breakthroughs, as well as wild claims and missed deadlines, Musk is expected to break that trillion dollar mark in the biggest initial public offering ever as investors place bets on a company with losses as big as its ambitions. Ahead of the first trade in SpaceX, Forbes puts Musk’s net worth at $982.6 billion.
In addition to establishing a one-million person Martian colony, the company has promised to save humanity by establishing other outposts in space, launch data centers the size of football fields into orbit and outdo rivals Anthropic and OpenAI in the race to make money from artificial intelligence.
To reach its goals, SpaceX needs billions more than it currently takes in from its rocket and satellite business. Between the start of 2025 and March 31, 2026, the company lost $8.7 billion.
Wall Street bankers that helped take SpaceX public are enthusiastic about the company — and the big fees they will earn — but not everyone thinks the stock price is justified.
Analysts at research firm Morningstar, which doesn’t earn any investment banking fees, wrote that the IPO is “significantly overvalued” because of SpaceX’s unproven technology and massive capital needs.
They estimate the company is only worth $780 billion — less than half its IPO value.
Still, Musk has pulled off the seemingly impossible before.
The soon-to-be trillionaire — on paper at least — made his fortune by creating two companies, Zip2 and PayPal, that netted him about $200 million at sale. He used that money to start SpaceX and invest in Tesla, and defied the odds by creating a space company that figured out how to reuse rockets and a car company that made electric vehicles cool.
Musk has realized vast sums of wealth for himself, much of it in stock he has yet to cash in or grants for shares he’ll only receive if Tesla or SpaceX hit ambitious performance targets. His recent pay package from Tesla drew criticism from the Vatican. At Tesla, he’s worried shareholders by fighting with regulators or dividing his attention between multiple companies and last year by taking a role in the Trump administration.
But a rising stock price has cured all ills: Since it went public in 2010, Tesla has returned 20,000% for shareholders, or more than $1.2 trillion in investor wealth. That has helped lift Musk’s pre-SpaceX IPO worth to $795 billion, according to Forbes magazine.
SpaceX is the first of three “megacap: companies expected to go public this year, with Anthropic and OpenAI to follow. Nasdaq even revised its rules to allow SpaceX to gain entry into funds tied to its indexes in 15 days, which means investors will end up buying the rocket maker’s shares much earlier.
Not all investors are thrilled about SpaceX potentially showing up in their holdings of index funds. Officials from pension funds for firefighters, teachers and other workers in California and New York sent a letter to SpaceX last month decrying some of the provisions in its IPO, including the “super voting shares,” mandatory arbitration of shareholder claims instead of the possibility of lawsuits and how much power Musk will hold over the company.
