Nick Pivetta's effective outings lifts Padres past Pirates
May 31 - Jackson Merrill knocked in two runs and Nick Pivetta fired six solid innings as the San Diego Padres edged the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates 3-2 on Friday. Pivetta (6-2) gave up six hits and two runs, walking none and striking out eight as he improved to 5-0 at home this year. Three San Diego relievers got the last nine outs, with Robert Suarez pitching the final 1 1/3 innings for his major-league-high 18th save. Suarez entered with two outs and the bases loaded in the top of the eighth. Henry Davis worked the count full but was called out by plate umpire Edwin Jimenez on a fastball. Pittsburgh manager Don Kelly was ejected between innings for arguing the pitch, which appeared to be low. Pirates starter Mitch Keller (1-7) allowed only three hits in six innings, along with three runs. Keller walked two and whiffed one. The Padres won for the fourth time in five games, while the Pirates had their modest two-game winning streak snapped. Merrill initiated the scoring in the fourth inning with a two-out RBI single that caromed off the glove of shortstop Isaiah Kiner-Falefa and rolled into left-center. The hit scored Manny Machado, who had doubled to break up Keller's string of retiring 11 straight hitters to open the game. The Pirates took a short-lived 2-1 lead in the top of the sixth. Tommy Pham singled and moved to third on Kiner-Falefa's base hit. After Pivetta induced a short flyout and a foulout, Bryan Reynolds and Spencer Horwitz delivered two-out run-scoring singles. However, Keller couldn't hold the lead in San Diego's half of the sixth. Fernando Tatis Jr. drew a leadoff walk and scored from first on Luis Arraez's double down the left field line. Machado's flyout to right advanced Arraez to third. With the infield in, Merrill hit a hard grounder to second baseman Adam Frazier. Arraez got a good break off third and scored when Frazier's throw home was wide right, forcing Davis to scoop the short hop. By the time he tagged Arraez, it was too late. Reynolds and Andrew McCutchen each had two hits for Pittsburgh, which outhit the Padres 7-3. --Field Level Media

Padres activate 2B Jake Cronenworth (rib) from IL
May 9 - San Diego Padres standout second baseman Jake Cronenworth was activated off the 10-day injured list prior to Friday night's road game against the Colorado Rockies. Cronenworth missed the past four-plus weeks due to a fractured rib. Cronenworth was hit by a pitch on April 6 during a contest against the Chicago Cubs and attempted to play through the injury. Two days later, he exited a game against the Athletics due to increasing pain in the ribs. San Diego opened a roster spot by optioning outfielder Oscar Gonzalez to Triple-A El Paso on Thursday. Cronenworth, 31, batted .257 with a .409 on-base percentage in nine games this season before going on the IL. He has two homers and five RBIs. The two-time All-Star is in his sixth season with the Padres. He is batting .247 with 71 homers and 315 RBIs in 658 career games. Despite lengthy absences of Cronenworth and All-Star center fielder Jackson Merrill, the Padres possess a 23-13 record that rates fourth in the majors. Merrill returned to the lineup Tuesday after missing 24 games with a right hamstring injury. --Field Level Media

Yankees rally past Padres 4-3 in 10 innings after breaking up Cease's no-hit bid in 7th
NEW YORK (AP) — Pinch-hitter J.C. Escarra came through with a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning and the New York Yankees, held hitless into the seventh, rallied past the San Diego Padres 4-3 on Wednesday night. Cody Bellinger homered with one out in the seventh for New York's first hit off Padres starter Dylan Cease, who exited moments later with a cramp in his right forearm. Max Fried tossed seven splendid innings in a pitchers' duel with Cease before San Diego scored twice against the Yankees' bullpen to build a 3-1 lead in the eighth.

It was Grisham's 10th home run, eclipsing last year's total. Cabrera led off the bottom of the 10th with a sacrifice bunt that moved automatic runner Jasson Domínguez to third. Escarra then came off the bench and lofted a long fly into the left-field corner against Jeremiah Estrada (1-2) that allowed Domínguez to score easily. In his second game since coming off the injured list, Jackson Merrill hit a solo homer in the fourth and a tiebreaking single in the eighth for the Padres. Xander Bogaerts added a sacrifice fly off Luke Weaver to make it 3-1.
