Pirates' Win Streak Snapped by Padres

The Pirates had been playing clean baseball but reverted to last season's mistakes in the defeat. Key plays included Nick Castellanos' RBI double in the fourth inning that broke the scoreless tie, and defensive miscues that allowed the Padres to extend their lead.

San Diego scored single runs in the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings before adding two more in the eighth. The loss marks the end of Pittsburgh's recent momentum after a strong stretch of games.
