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. 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. ___

Pirates win 5-0 behind McCutchen and Falter to snap 10-game losing streak vs. Padres
Andrew McCutchen homered into the second deck in left field off Dylan Cease, Bailey Falter combined with three relievers on a two-hitter and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat San Diego 5-0 on Saturday night to snap a 10-game losing streak to the Padres. McCutchen's 396-foot shot leading off the fifth was his fourth of the season and left him one shy of tying Roberto Clemente for third on the Pirates' career list at 240. Falter (4-3) held the Padres to just two singles while striking out one and walking one in 6 1/3 innings. Caleb Ferguson, Dennis Santana and David Bednar provided hitless relief. Cease (1-4), who threw the second no-hitter in Padres history on July 25, 2024, at Washington, has gone 10 starts since his only win, April 2 against Cleveland. He allowed three runs and seven hits in 4 2/3 innings, struck out six and walked one. The first three Pirates batters reached against Cease, with Bryan Reynolds hitting a single to bring in Oneil Cruz, who was aboard on a leadoff double. Cease retired the first two batters in the fourth before again allowing three straight Pirates to reach. Adam Frazier doubled and scored on Ke'Bryan Hayes' single. Two innings after McCutchen's homer, the Pirates added on with two runs on four straight hits against Yuki Matsui with one out in the seventh. Reynolds hit an RBI double and Spencer Horwitz an RBI single. Bradgley Rodriguez came on to make his big league debut and got Alexander Canario to ground into a double play on his second pitch. The 21-year-old Rodriguez, San Diego's No. 14 prospect, fielded Canario's weak grounder and threw to second baseman Jake Cronenworth to start the double play. Falter went 3-0 in six starts in May. Pirates LHP Andrew Heaney (3-4, 3.41 ERA) and Padres RHP Randy Vásquez are scheduled to start Sunday's series finale. ___ AP MLB:
