Joe Musgrove walked to the mound Saturday night with the NL’s leading hitter nursing a balky elbow on the bench and just one hitter in his lineup with a batting average better than .235.The Padres stranded a season-high 16 runners, went 2-for-15 with runners in scoring position and paid dearly for it when Ke’Bryan Hayes tagged closer Taylor Rogers for a three-run homer to send the Pirates to a 4-2 win on Saturday night at Petco Park.
Musgrove struck out seven and allowed one run on six hits in six innings, only to hand a 1-1 game to the bullpen because of a hapless offense.Robert Suarez struck out the side in the seventh and was in line for the win after Trent Grisham’s seventh-inning single scored Luke Voit from second base with two outs.
After Rogers’ blown save, the Padres went down in order in the ninth against former Padres reliever David Bednar, saddling them with their fifth loss this year when leading in the eighth inning. The Padres also pushed across an unearned run in the second inning, but Eric Hosmer was robbed of a homer to lead off the third inning and the Padres left the bases loaded twice with Musgrove in the game to all but ensure he’d walk off the mound empty-handed.
