Pirates blow late lead, fall to Padres; McCutchen ties Clemente
This article originally appeared on The Pittsburgh Pirates (22-38) ended their six-game road trip at Petco Park on Sunday in a 6-4 loss to the San Diego Padres (33-24). The Buccos are now 5-5 in their last 10 games after blowing their 18th lead of the season, which is tied for third in MLB. Advertisement After a stellar month of May, posting a 2.96 ERA, Andrew Heaney entered June coming off of a rough, snakebit performance against the Arizona Diamondbacks. However, he was able to turn that around with a solid bounce-back performance against the San Diego Padres, going 5 2/3, allowing five hits and just two runs, while striking out three. At first glance, it seemed as if the venom Heaney took from the snakes carried onto his start in San Diego, allowing a first-inning home run to Manny Machado. However, that lead lasted for about five minutes, when Randy Vasquez took a beating on the mound. The offense got off to a hot start in the third, posting three runs thanks to a history-making two-run home run from Andrew McCutchen. With that cannonball, he tied Roberto Clemente for third on the Pirates' all-time home runs list with No. 240.

McCutchen ties Clemente for third on Pirates' all-time homers list with 240
Andrew McCutchen tied Roberto Clemente for third place on the Pittsburgh Pirates' all-time home run list at 240 with a two-run shot off San Diego's Randy Vásquez in the third inning on Sunday. It was the second homer in two games and fifth of the season for the 38-year-old McCutchen, who's in his 17th big league season and 12th with Pittsburgh over two stints. It gave the Pirates a 2-1 lead. Clemente hit 240 homers from 1955-1972. He was 38 when he was killed on Dec. 31, 1972, in the crash of a plane he chartered to deliver emergency supplies for the survivors of an earthquake in Nicaragua. He was posthumously elected to the Hall of Fame in 1973. Willie Stargell tops the Pirates' list with 475 homers and Ralph Kiner is next with 301. McCutchen has 324 homers in a career in which he's also played for Philadelphia, Milwaukee, San Francisco and the New York Yankees. ___ AP MLB:

Machado homers and hits go-ahead sac fly as the Padres beat the Pirates 6-4
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Manny Machado homered in the first inning and hit a go-ahead sacrifice fly in a four-run seventh for the San Diego Padres, who rallied past the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-4 on Sunday to take two of three games in their series. Andrew McCutchen hit a two-run shot to tie Roberto Clemente for third place on Pittsburgh's career list with 240 homers. Adam Frazier also went deep to give the Pirates a 4-1 lead in the fourth. Gavin Sheets slammed face-first into the wall while tracking Frazier's homer and left the game. The Padres started their comeback in the sixth when Jackson Merrill's second double of the game brought in three-time batting champion Luis Arraez, who was aboard on a one-out double. San Diego broke through against reliever Tanner Rainey (0-1), who came on to start the seventh and walked three of the five batters he faced and allowed an RBI single to pinch-hitter Elías Díaz. After Rainey walked Fernando Tatis Jr. to load the bases with one out, Caleb Ferguson came on and allowed Arraez's single that tied it and Machado's sac fly. Tyler Wade beat out a bases-loaded single that Ferguson knocked down but couldn't find in time to make a play. It was the second homer in two games and fifth of the season for the 38-year-old McCutchen, who's in his 17th big league season and 12th with Pittsburgh over two stints. The shot off Randy Vásquez with one out in the third inning gave the Pirates a 2-1 lead. Machado's homer off starter Andrew Heaney was his seventh. Adrian Morejon (3-2) got the win and Robert Suarez pitched a perfect ninth for his major league-leading 19th save. Key moment Arraez's tying single was his first RBI hit of the season with the bases loaded. Key stat McCutchen has 324 homers during a 17-year career in which he's also played for Philadelphia, Milwaukee, San Francisco and the New York Yankees. Up next Pirates RHP Paul Skenes (4-5, 2.15 ERA) is scheduled to start Tuesday night in the opener of a three-game series against Houston that begins a nine-game homestand. The Padres hadn't announced a starter for Monday night in the opener of a three-game series at San Francisco. ___ AP MLB:
