The Padres dropped a 3-1 decision in St. Louis yesterday, and have now scored one or fewer runs 22 times in 2015 -- most of any team in the majors. San Diego is just 7-13 in its last 20 contests (second-worst record in MLB since June 14).

Pittsburgh defeated Cleveland, 5-3, on Sunday, winning its second straight game, and for the fifth time in the last six contests overall. The Bucs are 29-12 (.707) in their last 41 games -- best in MLB since May 22.

The Friars and Pirates split four games in San Diego earlier this season (May 28-31), and are meeting for the final time of 2015 in this series. The Padres haven't lost a series in Pittsburgh since PNC Park opened in 2001 (33-12 all-time record at PNC Park).

James Shields went 6.2 innings and allowed just two runs (both earned) last Wednesday against the Mariners, but was saddled with a third straight loss for his efforts. Shields, who was 7-0 with a 3.59 ERA prior to his current losing skid, will be facing the Bucs for just the second time in his career tonight (6.0 IP, 2 ER, no-decision on May 29, 2015).

A.J. Burnett allowed two runs (both earned) in 7.0 IP last Wednesday in Detroit, beating the Tigers, and improving to 7-2 in his last 11 outings overall. Burnett has a 1.29 ERA at PNC Park this season -- the lowest home ERA among all qualifying NL pitchers in 2015.

Chris Stewart gave Francisco Cervelli a day off yesterday, and made the most of his opportunity to play by going 2-for-4, extending his hitting streak to four straight games. Pittsburgh's catchers have a .311 combined batting average in 2015 -- best of any team in the majors.

HP - Emmel, 1B - Meals, 2B - Wolf, 3B - Johnson

The Pittsburgh Pirates have yet to break out offensively during their long homestand, but timely hitting and quality pitching has kept their winning ways alive.
The San Diego Padres are the latest victim of the Pirates, who seek their sixth home sweep of the season Wednesday night.
