PITTSBURGH —
The Pirates have put together enough offense to win the first two games of this series against their suddenly quiet visitors.
With four runs against Craig Stammen in the eighth inning Saturday, they beat the Padres 6-3 at PNC Park.
That followed the Pirates’ 2-1 victory on Friday.
Padres rookie Chris Paddack allowed two runs, both on Jose Osuna’s pinch-hit homer in the fifth inning. He allowed five hits, walked three and struck out one in five innings in his first start after a 10-day sojourn to Single-A for some rest and recalibration.
