Pivetta Shines, Padres Edge Nationals | San Diego Padres News

Nick Pivetta dazzled in his Padres return, tossing five scoreless innings on just 63 pitches to earn the win as San Diego edged Washington 3-2. The offense got things going early with two runs in the third off Jackson Merrill’s clutch RBIs, and a first-inning miscue gave them a 1-0 lead. A scary seventh saw Kyle Hart surrender a two-run homer, but Adrian Morejon and Bradgley Rodriguez steadied the ship before Mason Miller locked it down for his 34th save. A costly base-running error in the eighth nearly added insurance, but Miller’s final strike sealed the deal.
