The Pittsburgh Pirates blew back-to-back ninth-inning leads en route to getting swept by the San Diego Padres.
Experience is often the best teacher and the Pittsburgh Pirates were dealt a few unpleasant lessons in their three-game series against the San Diego Padres.
The loss also continued Pittsburgh's struggles in one-run ballgames. The Pirates have lost five straight games that were decided by one run and have gone 3-7 in one-run ballgames since the All-Star break. After an infield single by Xander Bogaerts and a pair of walks, San Diego had the bases loaded with one out. Bednar got Padres catcher Kyle Higashioka to hit a slow roller to Isiah Kiner-Falefa that seemingly wasn't hard enough for Pittsburgh to turn a double play.
Cruz's error, which was his 22nd of the season and tied him for the league lead with Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz, wasn't his first costly mistake of the game. In the top of the sixth inning with Pittsburgh trailing 4-0, the 6-foot-7 shortstop hit a rocket into the right field gap that hit off the base of the wall and scored Bryan Reynolds from second base. Cruz wasn't hustling out of the box and was thrown out trying to leg out a double.
