San Diego Padres and Pittsburgh Pirates head-to-head record
The Pittsburgh Pirates have lost four of their last five games against the San Diego Padres, including their most recent shutout in August 2024. The games have been very close. Three of the Padres' wins were by a single run, which shows how well they can win close games when the heat is on. The last time these two teams performed was in July 2023, when the Pirates came out on top. However, since then, the San Diego Padres have been tough and steady against them. Based on this trend, the Padres might keep up their good play in the next game, using their offensive strength and clutch hitting to secure another win. However, the Pirates may remain a threat if they take advantage of any chances to stop the Padres' progress.
