Pittsburgh Pirates (56-54) and San Diego Padres (60-52) will lock horns on Tuesday night. The Pirates are third in NL Central, 6.0 games behind the Brewers. They are trying to chase the Wild Card spot and have won four of their previous six matches. Rookie Paul Skenes has had an impressive campaign after hitting over 6.5 strikeouts in 10 of his starts this season. The Padres, on the other hand, are trying to unseat the Dodgers on top of the NL West standings. They are only 4.5 games behind the leaders and have picked up eight victories in their last 10 matches. The Padres have enjoyed an impressive year despite Juan Soto leaving in the offseason. San Diego certainly has more to gain if they win this midweek matchup.
