With left-hander Andrew Miller out, the team needs a starter for Sunday's game in Miami. 

A few hours after finding outthat injured catcher Ryan Doumit will be out for at least two months, thePirates started picking each other up and chipping in. 

The Florida Marlins came to town Monday as the hottest team in the majors. 

Barring any weather-related postponements in tonight or tomorrow, thePirates are expected to stay on their regular pitching rotation this weekend in San Diego. 

The Pittsburgh Pirates have taken the first two games of their series with the red-hot Florida Marlins thanks to outstanding performances from their fourth and fifth starters. 

Hottest team in Major League Baseball? 

Nick Swisher said something his former skipper didn't like, but Ken Rosenthal says Ozzie Guillen is just overreacting. 

All the Pittsburgh Pirates talked about the last couple of seasons was how good their mostly young starting pitching was going to be. 

The red-hot Marlins suffered two big losses in one game Monday night: They lost for the first time since April 11 and after the game they put left-hander Andrew Miller on the disabled list. 

--The wear and tear on the bullpen, which has bailed out the Marlins during the team's seven-game winning streak, is starting to show. 

The Marlins are off to a hot start because they are getting contributions from virtually everyone on the team. 

The Florida Marlins came to town tonight as the hottest team in the major leagues, but a dose of soggy spring weather andPirates right-hander Ross Ohlendorf cooled them off. 

Florida Marlins starting pitcher Andrew Miller went on the 15-day disabled list with an oblique injury after giving up four runs and five hits in 4 2-3 innings during an 8-0 loss in Pittsburgh on Monday night. 

Pittsburgh didn't seem like the most likely place for the red-hot Florida Marlins to finally stumble, but the way the Pirates are pitching, it suddenly seems difficult for any opponent to score runs at PNC Park. 

--The Marlins' hot start comes as three key players have been struggling over the first six games of the road trip.
