MIAMI -- With 13 strikeouts through eight innings, Jose Fernandez wanted to keep pitching. The Miami Marlins rookie told manager Mike Redmond he was going back out for the ninth. When Redmond said no and the game went to the bottom of the ninth, Fernandez started to sneak onto the field anyway before returning to the bench with a grin. A few minutes later, Fernandez was leaping over the dugout railing and onto the field to celebrate a 3-2 victory Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. "I would love to pitch a complete game," the 20-year-old All-Star said. "I know it will happen in my career. They have a plan and they know what theyre doing, so Im pretty happy with the decisions theyre making." Fernandez (7-5) matched his career high with eight innings, broke the Marlins rookie record for strikeouts and won a pitching duel against fellow rookie Gerrit Cole. Fernandez allowed five hits and two runs, walked none and threw 74 of his 97 pitches for strikes. "This was kind of a statement game for him, where he knew he was going up against another solid pitcher, and he wanted to outdo him," Redmond said. Like Fernandez, Cole (5-4) was a first-round draft pick in 2011. He allowed three runs and struck out eight in seven innings. "Hes a great pitcher," Fernandez said. "His stuff is good. I saw it hitting, and I didnt like it." Ditto regarding Fernandez, Cole said. "When you go up against a guy like him, you feed off each other," Cole said. "He goes out and strikes out the side, and Im going to out there and try to do the same thing. You love that competition and you want the best out of the other person. He was better today." Giancarlo Stanton put the Marlins ahead to stay in the sixth inning with his 13th home run. Stanton also doubled, walked and scored twice for the Marlins, who had six hits. Tino Martinez resigned as Miamis hitting coach following the game, hours after complaints by players that he verbally abused them became public. The young Marlins rank last in the majors in runs, home runs, batting and slugging. "I have made some comments to certain players at certain times that I thought was more constructive criticism," Martinez said. "Obviously, they didnt feel that way, and it kind of backfired on me." Miami mustered just enough offence for Fernandez. He retired the side in order in the eighth to protect a 3-2 lead, then had a brief exchange with Redmond regarding the ninth inning. "I told him, Im going out. He said, Well see," Fernandez said. "They decided not to let me." Fernandez started out onto the field for the ninth anyway. "That was kind of like a joke," he said. "Pretty funny." The Marlins are accustomed to such antics from the young right-hander. "You love it," catcher Jeff Mathis said. "Youd rather be pulling the reins on somebody than kicking them in the butt. He gets a little too excited sometimes, but its fun to watch." Redmond said the decision to lift Fernandez wasnt easy. "That was a second-guessers dream," he said. "It took me awhile to decide." The move nearly backfired. Steve Cishek gave up a single and a walk in the ninth, but retired Garrett Jones on a grounder for the final out to earn his 22nd save in 24 chances. Miami has the worst record in the NL but took two of three games from the Pirates, who began the day with the second-best record in the majors. Pittsburgh went 5-5 on a three-city trip and begins a potentially pivotal five-game series at home against NL Central leader St. Louis on Monday.

METAIRIE, La. -- Chuck Muncie, a Pro Bowl running back with both the New Orleans Saints and San Diego Chargers, has died at age 60, the NFL clubs and a family spokesman said Tuesday. Muncie family spokesman Vintage Foster of AMF Media Group in San Ramon, Calif., said Muncie died at his Los Angeles-area home on Monday from heart failure. Muncie was the Saints first-round pick, third overall, out of California in 1976. He played 4 1/2 seasons in New Orleans before being traded in 1980 to San Diego, where he finished his nine-year NFL career. In 1979, Muncie became the first Saint to rush for 1,000 yards, finishing with 1,198 yards and 11 touchdowns, and his 1,506 total yards from scrimmage earned him the first of his three Pro Bowl selections. The 6-foot-3 Muncie, who played at 227 pounds, and fellow Saints running back Tony Galbreath formed what then-coach Hank Stram dubbed the "Thunder and Lightning" combination in the New Orleans backfield. Both running backs are now member of the Saints Hall of Fame. Saints owner Tom Benson said in a written statement that the Saints were mourning Muncies "untimely passing," adding, "Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and other loved ones at this difficult time." Muncie was traded by the Saints at midseason in 1980 to the San Diego Chargers, where he played 51 games and was named to Pro Bowl rosters two more times, in 1981 and 82. In 2009, the club recognized him as one of the 50 greatest Chargers of all time. His accomplishments on the field came despite cocaine use, and in 1989, five years after hiis retirement from pro football, Muncie was sentenced to 18 months in prison for a cocaine distribution conviction.dddddddddddd Thereafter, however, he began sharing his life story with at-risk youth, highlighting his struggles with drug abuse. He created the Chuck Muncie Youth Foundation, the mission of which was to offer children mentoring, educational assistance and counselling. "His work with at-risk youth, the Boys and Girls Clubs and his foundation were the things that really made him shine," Muncies daughter, Danielle Ward, said in a written statement provided by Foster. "He was star on the football field but his most impressive work was done in the second chapter of his life where he lived his life with great transparency," added Muncies former wife, Robyn Hood. "He simply wanted others to learn from his mistakes. He carried that message with him everywhere he went. And as a result, he changed the lives of hundreds of kids. He made a difference." Muncies 43 touchdowns for San Diego, and 19 touchdowns in a single season, both rank second in Chargers history, eclipsed only by LaDainian Tomlinson. "Everyone at the Chargers is deeply saddened by the passing of Chuck Muncie, one of the greatest running backs in Chargers history," the team said in a written statement. "We will remember him as a tremendous athlete with a larger-than-life personality. Its a sad day for all of us and all Chargers fans." In nine seasons, Muncie finished with 6,702 yards rushing, 2,323 yards receiving and 74 total touchdowns. ' ' '
