Suarez gets huge strikeout as the Padres beat the Pirates for the 10th straight time
San Diego closer Robert Suarez got a huge called third strike with the bases loaded to end the eighth inning and the Padres beat Pittsburgh 3-2 on Friday night for their 10th straight victory over the Pirates. After Jason Adam loaded the bases with two outs, Suarez came in and struck out Henry Davis looking on a low pitch that appeared out of the strike zone. Davis tossed his bat and started taking off his wrist guard in anticipation of taking first and then threw up his arms in disgust and tossed his helmet. Andrew McCutchen, representing the tying run, put his hands on his helmet in surprise halfway up the line. Pirates manager Don Kelly was ejected by plate umpire Edwin Jimenez. The four-out save was Suarez's major league-leading 18th. He struck out three. Padres right-hander Nick Pivetta (6-2) held the Pirates to two runs and six hits while striking out eight and walking none for his first win in five starts. The right-hander cruised through five scoreless, two-hit innings and had a 1-0 lead before allowing two runs with two outs in the sixth. Tommy Pham and Isiah Kiner-Falefa singled to open the inning. Pivetta retired Oneil Cruz and Andrew McCutchen on one pitch apiece before allowing RBI singles by Bryan Reynolds and Spencer Horwitz. The Padres regained the lead in the bottom of the inning against Mitch Keller (1-7). Fernando Tatis Jr. drew a leadoff walk and raced around to score on Luis Arraez's opposite-field double into the left-field corner. Arraez advanced on Manny Machado's fly ball to left and beat second baseman Adam Frazier's throw home with a headfirst slide on Jackson Merrill's grounder. San Diego took a 1-0 lead in the fourth. Machado doubled with two outs and came home when Merrill's single carmoned off the glove of sliding shortstop Kiner-Falefa. Pirates starter Mitch Keller (1-7) allowed three runs and three hits in six innings. Tatis got a huge jump ahead of Arraez's double and scored standing up. The winning streak matches the second-longest against an opponent in Padres' history, done four times. Pirates LHP Bailey Falter (3-3, 3.47 ERA) and Padres RHP Dylan Cease (1-3, 4.58 ERA) were scheduled to start Saturday night. ___ AP MLB:

How to watch the USWNT vs. China in Saturday's international friendly
One of the younger USWNT groups of recent years begins an important if leisurely summer stretch. The American national team has five friendlies coming up over a period of less than five weeks, beginning with Saturday's match against China. The three goalkeepers tout a combined four international caps. Rising star center back Naomi Girma is 24 years old. Trinity Rodman is 23, Korbin Albert is 21 and Alyssa Thompson is just 20. This first friendly is a good opportunity for manager Emma Hayes to see where this young group stands in its development. Advertisement The U.S. women, FIFA's top-ranked team, have three wins and two losses in 2025. The USWNT won its first two tilts with Colombia and Australia in the SheBelieves Cup, but lost to Japan on the third and final match day. That 2-1 defeat was a stinger — Tōko Koga's decisive goal in the 50th minute hushed an otherwise raucous San Diego crowd. The U.S. side then split a pair with Brazil, winning 2-0 on April 5 before dropping the follow up, 2-1, three days later. Rodman broke through in the fifth minute of that first Brazil contest, and Lindsey Heaps added insurance on a penalty try. Catarina Macario netted a score in the opening minute of the rematch, but Amanda Gutierres came up with the improbable winner in stoppage time. The USWNT has a 38-9-13 record against the Chinese national team. China lost in the group round of the 2023 World Cup. It scored blowout wins over Thailand (5-1) and Uzbekistan (5-0) last month, but finished third in the four-team Pinatar Cup back in February. The Steel Roses are 17th in the latest FIFA rankings. 2015: 'Carli Lloyd sprinted toward the right sideline, her face contorted in joy, before she aimed a flying kick at the corner flag. Her teammates, giving chase close behind, mobbed her in celebration, forming a jubilant tornado of white jerseys and neon green socks. Fifty minutes had gone by in the United States' World Cup quarterfinal match against China on Friday when Lloyd took flight near the penalty spot and drilled a powerful header into the lower corner of the goal to break a scoreless tie.' — Andrew Keh 1996: 'They have been together a long time close to a decade for some of them — and tonight the American women won a prize they could not have imagined when they began assembling. By beating a spirited and talented China, 2-1, they won a gold medal in the first women's soccer tournament in Summer Games history. Tiffeny Milbrett scored the historic goal in the 68th minute at the end of a fast break begun by Mia Hamm on the right side, who pushed the ball to Joy Fawcett in the middle, who set up Milbrett racing in from the left. The attendance was 76,481, apparently the largest crowd to watch a women's game anywhere in the world.' — George Vecsey Streaming links in this article are provided by partners of The Athletic.

Andrew McCutchen's Behavior Toward Umpire in Pirates-Padres Turns Heads
Andrew McCutchen's Behavior Toward Umpire in Pirates-Padres Turns Heads originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Things are not looking so good for Andrew McCutchen and the Pittsburgh Pirates. They are wallowing at the bottom of the National League Central Division with just a 21-37 record following their 3-2 loss to the San Diego Padres to open a three-game series at Petco Park in San Diego on Friday. Advertisement What made the loss even more frustrating for the Pirates and their fans was their perceived poor job by the umpires in officiating the contest. That was perhaps best summed up by the call the home plate umpire made in the bottom of the eighth inning. With the Pirates trailing San Diego, 3-2, and the bases loaded, Pittsburgh Henry Davis stepped on the plate looking to at least drive in a run. Davis battled San Diego closer Robert Suarez to a full count after five pitches. Suarez's sixth offering to Davis looked as though it went too low. Davis even started his motion toward first base. But the umpire ruled that he struck out looking to end the inning. Following that call on Davis, veteran Pirates designated hitter Andrew McCutchen tried to stare down the home plate umpire, according to SportsNet Pittsburgh reporter Hannah Mears. Advertisement The Pirates also shared the video of McCutchen's action. Meanwhile, several fans online shared their thoughts on McCuthen's gesture as well. "Cutch is badass. Doesn't do any good, but mad respect for the stare down with the plate ump.," said a fan on X. Another one said: "Cutch with the death stare at the young pup 🐶 UMP said it all from Bucco fans.' From a commenter: "McCutchen stared at the home plate ump the entire inning 🤣 [expletive] that ump.' 'This is why we love @TheCUTCH22,' a social media user commented. Via a commenter: 'Cutch is badass. Doesn't do any good, but mad respect for the stare down with the plate ump.' Advertisement Said another: 'andrew mccutchen staring down the umpire the entire half inning' Mark J.

Rebilas-Imagn Images Suarez finished the job for the Padres in the ninth inning, shutting the door on the Pirates by striking out Ke'Bryan Hayes and Adam Frazier before inducing Tommy Pham to ground out. McCutchen went 2-for-4 in the game but did not score a run and had zero RBIs for the Pirates, who will look to get back at the Padres in the second game of the series this Saturday.
