San Diego's offense is fifth in the Majors in runs scored and on-base percentage. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh is 22nd in runs scored, 20th in on-base percentage, and 23rd in slugging. The Pirates are on a 3-7 run and are stuck with starter Zach Thompson (10.80 ERA), who is winless with a 7.00 ERA in two career starts against the Padres, both last season.
