PITTSBURGH — This article originally appeared on PittsburghBaseballNOW.com.

The Pittsburgh Pirates came up just short in the 10th inning and lost 9-8 to the San Diego Padres on Wednesday.

David Bednar blew the save in the ninth inning and the Padres scored three runs against Colin Holderman in the 10th. The Pirates rallied for two runs in the bottom of the extra frame but couldn’t push across the tying run.

The Pirates (56-57) are in need of a win to cap off a miserable homestand in the series finale against the Padres (63-52) on Thursday afternoon.
