Game Summary
San Diego Padres defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-0. The Padres combined timely hitting with strong pitching — Randy Vásquez worked five shutout innings (one hit allowed) and earned the win, while Bradgley Rodriguez closed with two scoreless innings for the save. Jackson Merrill went 2-for-3 with a triple, double and a walk, and Jake Cronenworth added an insurance RBI double as San Diego totaled seven hits. The turning point came in the fourth when Merrill tripled home Manny Machado to make it 2-0 after an initial second-inning run. Pittsburgh managed only five hits and left 27 runners on base, and the Padres’ staff preserved the shutout the rest of the way.
