PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Miami Marlins' improbable September push will carry into October.
Puk (7-5) and seven other relievers kept the Pirates in check, rendering any scoreboard-watching pointless.
Miami began the day with its magic number whittled to one following another late comeback victory on Friday night.
Miami used a 17-9 September surge to vault over San Francisco, Chicago and surprising Cincinnati in the standings.
It's unclear whether the Marlins will have to return to New York on Monday to finish a suspended game against the New York Mets.
