PITTSBURGH—Luis Arráez hit an RBI double to cap a three-run ninth inning that gave the San Diego Padres a 7–6 win and a series sweep over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday afternoon.
With San Diego down 5–4, Pirates closer David Bednar (3–4) gave up a single to Xander Bogaerts and walked Jackson Merrill to start the ninth inning before striking out David Peralta and walking Ha-Seong Kim to load the bases. Bogaerts scored on a grounder from Kyle Higashioka before Oneil Cruz tossed a double-play attempt past first base, letting Merrill score the go-ahead run.
