SAN DIEGO — The Pittsburgh Pirates dropped their eighth-straight game with a 2-1 loss to the San Diego Padres on Monday night at PETCO Park.
Jake Woodford worked a career-high six innings and Andrew McCutchen extended his hitting streak to nine games with an RBI single in the ninth but Padres centerfielder Jackson Merrill made a game-ending diving catch to seal the win for San Diego.
After falling to the cellar of the National League, the Pirates (56-62) will look to stop the bleeding in the second game of the series against the Padres (67-53).
