After splitting the first 2 games of this series, the Padres and Pirates played the rubber match Sunday at Petco Park.

The Padres got early offense in this game, thanks to solo 1st inning home run by Manny Machado, giving them a 1-0 lead.

The Pirates took a 2-1 lead on Andrew McCutcheon's 2-run homer off Randy Vasquez in the 3rd inning. It was McCutcheon's 233 home run trying him with Roberto Clemente for 3rd most all-time in Pirates history.

In the 4th inning the Pirates hit another home run off Vasquez, this time it was Adam Frazier with a solo shot that just barely cleared the wall in left center.

On the play, Padres left fielder Gavin Sheets was tracking the ball all the way, and did not slow down as he crashed face first into the wall in left center, as the ball cleared the wall.
