The Pirates had been playing clean baseball recently but reverted to last season's errors in this loss. San Diego took the lead in the fourth inning when Nick Castellanos doubled home a run off Bubba Chandler.
Key miscues continued throughout the game, including a bouncing double by Jackson Merrill in the fifth and a throwing error by Ryan O'Hearn in the eighth that allowed another run to score. Bubba Chandler (0-1) took the loss in his Pirates debut.
