For the first time since May 7-10, the Pittsburgh Pirates dropped their third-straight game, and it came at a time when they badly needed a win.

The San Diego Padres struck for three runs off of Colin Holderman (3-4) in the 10th inning and despite scoring two runs in the bottom of the 10th, the Pirates were unable to push across the tying run and fell 9-8 on Wednesday night.

In the 10th, Xander Bogaerts ripped a single to left field to plate automatic runner Luis Arraez and set up the Padres (63-52) with runners on first and third. Manny Macahdo followed with a sacrifice fly to center to add onto the lead.
