8/11 Recap | Padres 5 Pirates 0

The Pirates were dominated by Jason Marquis and lost their third straight game, and second straight to the Padres. Marquis was brilliant, throwing a complete game two hitter and not allowing a run while facing throwing just 106 pitches.

The two Pirates hits came from Travis Snider and Pedro Alvarez, both were singles.

A.J. Burnett seemed to pick the right night to have an off night, going just 5.2 innings and giving up nine hits and five runs (four earned). He did strike out 10 and tie his season high, so his stuff was working, he just didn’t have the location. The Padres have been playing some very good baseball and the Pirates will have to show up tomorrow to avoid the sweep.
