PITTSBURGH — Josh Bell's two-run double keyed a four-run, eighth-inning rally and the Miami Marlins moved closer to a playoff berth with a 4-3 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Marlins did little through seven innings but broke through against Colin Selby (2-2) to reduce their magic number to earn the NL's third wild-card spot to two. Miami entered the weekend with a chance to clinch the franchise's first playoff berth in a non-pandemic-shortened season since 2003. The Marlins didn't get into Pittsburgh until almost dawn on Friday morning following a long night in New York.
