After dropping their weekend series in Anaheim, the Pittsburgh Pirates came out swinging against the San Diego Padres and walked away with a 8-4 win. Out of 13 total hits, Jack Suwinski and Carlos Santana accounted for six of them.
Trailing 1-0 in the third, Suwinski tied the game with a solo shot to right field. Then after Andrew McCutchen reached on a walk, Santana gave the Pirates the lead with his first home run, a two-run shot to right.
