PITTSBURGH -- Don Mattingly looked at the group of media assembled in front of him and smiled.Youre going to need a whole new notebook to write down everything that happened in this game, the Miami Marlins manager said Friday night.Robert Andino hit a tiebreaking single in the top of the ninth inning, then the Marlins got Andrew McCutchen to ground into a game-ending double play with the bases loaded to hold off Pittsburgh 6-5 in a matchup of NL wild-card contenders.Anytime you get a win now, its big and it gives you momentum, at least until the next day, Mattingly said. Its important for our guys to be in this situation, where theyve playing important games at this time of year. We have a lot of guys who havent been through it before.JT Realmuto, who homered in going 3 for 3, drew a leadoff walk in the Miami ninth from Neftali Feliz (4-1). Realmuto moved up on a sacrifice bunt and scored when Andino lined his single into left field.Feliz throws really hard and you know its going to be a tough at-bat, Andino said. I just wanted to put the best swing on it that I could and it worked out.Christian Yelich and Miguel Rojas also each had three hits and a homer as the Marlins won for just the third time in nine games. The Pirates loss was their second in eight games.Fernando Rodney wound up with his 22nd save in 24 opportunities. He issued an intentional walk to Starling Marte -- who already had three hits -- to load the bases for McCutchen.The former NL MVP stayed stuck in a season-long slump when he bounced into a double play.Its a tough decision, Mattingly said. At least, we have a (potential) force play if we load the bases, so if we get a ground ball then we have a chance to get (a double play).Nick Wittgren (4-2) pitched a scoreless eighth.The Marlins scored twice in the eighth off Felipe Rivero to make it 5-all. Rojas hit a solo homer, his first of the season, and Dee Gordon reached on a double error by third baseman Jung Ho Kang with two outs and came home on Yelichs single.The Pirates went ahead 5-3 with a three-run seventh. The first run scored on pitcher Dustin McGowans throwing error, then Josh Harrison hit a sacrifice fly and Marte doubled in a run.David Freese put the Pirates ahead 2-1 hit a two-run homer, his 12th, in the fourth off Tom Koehler.Pirates starter Gerrit Cole gave up three runs and 12 hits in 6 2/3 innings.It was two teams out there battling, and we didnt do enough things well enough to win, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said.TRAINERS ROOMMarlins: RHP A.J.

Through the first four weeks of the NFL season, the Minnesota Vikings defense is giving up just 12.5 points per game, and they have forced a league-high 11 turnovers. Its a suffocating unit under Mike Zimmer -- one that is allowing just 4.64 yards per play -- thanks to its versatility, speed and the ability to get after the quarterback.The Vikings trade for Sam Bradford before the season signaled to the rest of the league that they were ready to win a Super Bowl now.

Heres why:Three levels of talentThe past three weeks, the Vikings have completely shhut down some of the NFLs best quarterbacks --?Aaron Rodgers, Cam Newton and Eli Manning.dddddddddddd. That trio managed just 34 points over 180 minutes of football and posted a measly Total QBR of 28.5, which would rank dead last in the NFL right now.?In short, the Vikings defense is built to defend modern-day NFL offenses because they have skilled players at all three levels who run and hit and play with speed.?Think about it: If youre an offensive coordinator, which Vikings defender do you scheme against?
