PITTSBURGH — The San Diego Padres continued on Friday to act like a team that knows what to do when it is on the field with an inferior opponent.
Their series opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park looked a lot like the three games they just swept in Cincinnati. It took a bit to build but ended with the Padres running away from the Pirates for a 7-3 victory.
The Padres have won four straight games, their third streak that long this season.
