RECAP
In his second start with the Pirates (56-62), Woodford (0-4) scattered two hits across the first six innings of the game. He didn’t walk a batter and struck out a pair. Jurickson Profar led off the top of the seventh with a double to right field, which ended Woodford’s outing.
In relief of Woodford, Kyle Nicolas struck out the first batter he faced but allowed Profar to advance to third on a wild pitch. With one out, Xander Bogaerts shot a single to right field to put the Padres (67-53) ahead 1-0.
