Pittsburgh seems to have been looking forward to a trip to Sunny San Diego as their heads were definitely elsewhere during a 1-11 loss to Arizona on Wednesday. Can San Diego have similar success?
Pittsburgh Pirates
The Pirates kick off a 4-game series at Petco in what will be their 8th straight game on the road Thursday. Pittsburgh has had success thus far though, with a 4-3 record including taking 3 of 4 in St. Louis.
Pittsburgh doesn’t score a lot of runs (26th) and they’ve been held to 3 or less in 4 of the last 6. The Pirates have also dropped 5 straight vs. left hand starters which is why they are underdogs in this tilt.

Right-hander Trevor Williams is Thursday’s starter for Pittsburgh. Williams is looking for a big outing in his hometown of San Diego against the team he rooted for growing up. Williams gave up just 1ER in his last start, but he did allow 9 hits vs. St. Louis.
San Diego Padres
The Padres are looking to take advantage of a possibly road weary Pirates team as San Diego needs some wins. The Padres had lost 3 of 4 to division foes Colorado and LA heading into Wednesday night’s game with the Dodgers.
A big weekend will help boost the Padres standings in the West, where they are 5 GB from LA as of Wednesday. San Diego is just 10-11 at Petco this season though but will be playing their first home game in over a week which could provide a boost.
