SAN DIEGO (AP) — Newcomer Travis Wood combined with three relievers on a three-hitter, and Cory Spangenberg tripled in the tying run and scored the go-ahead run on a ball four wild pitch to give the San Diego Padres a 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night.
Wood (2-3) was making his Padres debut after being acquired Monday from Kansas City in a six-player deal that sent two relievers and one starter to the Royals. The left-hander allowed two runs and two hits in six innings, struck out seven and walked one. He retired his last 10 batters after allowing Andrew McCutchen's two-run homer in the third.
