I thought that the Padres were trying to climbing back into the pennant race. Perhaps the Padres have been consulting the Pirates' analysts and manager regarding the need for rest. Or, perhaps Soto needs some recuperation time after last night's home run and the accompanying gaze and bat flip.
It's only the 2nd game this season he hasn't started. Shelton would have had him on the bench a lot more than that.

Machado, with two strikes and two outs, gets Kim home on a pop up to the shortstop. We’re tied at one.

Bogaerts HBP. Oviedo really struggling to find the strike zone.

Six of the nine outs made by the Pirates come by way of the strike out.

Oviedo with his first one, two, three inning of the day. Still 2-1 Bucs. To the 5th we go.
