The San Diego Padres put their four-game winning streak at stake in Sunday's series finale with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Padres showcased their pitching firepower anew on Saturday as starter Randy Vasquez allowed one earned run in 5.0 innings, while the bullpen, led by Jason Adam, blanked the Pirates in the last four innings to gut out a 2-1 win on the road at PNC Park. San Diego, sporting a 2.84 ERA, finally posted a signature win after several days of mediocre performance by their pitching staff.
Wins remain elusive for the Pirates, who have lost their last three and six of their last seven games. Batting .223 with 114 runs this season, the Pirates continued to have a really hard time scoring runs as they averaged 2.5 runs per game over their last five games.

Our San Diego Padres vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Pirates steal Game 3 vs. the Padres with Andrew Heaney delivering a sturdy outing.
The Pirates might steal Game 3 if Andrew Heaney continues to pitch well against the Padres. Heaney (2.61 ERA) has guided the Pirates to a win in his last three starts vs. San Diego. The Pirates' hurler had recorded two consecutive shutouts against the Padres before allowing 1 earned run on September 22. If this turns out to be another low-scoring affair, I feel Pittsburgh can hack out a win against a San Diego squad scoring only 3.4 runs per game on the road. Our betting prediction for Pittsburgh Pirates vs. San Diego Padres: The Pirates will win.
