SAN DIEGO NOTES

• Dinelson Lamet tossed a career-high 104 pitches in the game, earning his fifth win of the season...the rookie had not allowed a single hit to the Pirates until RF Adam Frazier ended Lamet’s no-hit bid with his single to right field in the fifth.

• Jose Pirela hit two triples in tonight’s game for the first time in his career…it was the 16th time a Padre hit two triples in a game since Nick Hundley did so on August 16, 2011…he became the 15th Padre to accomplish the feat (Dave Roberts recorded a pair of triples in two games in his Padres’ career)…he is the seventh player in the Majors this season to hit two triples in a game…no Padre has ever hit three triples in a game.

· Cory Spangenberg has hit safely in 12 of his last 14 games, batting .373 (19-for-51) with one double, two triples, one home run, 11 RBI and 13 runs scored…is hitting .305 (43-for-141) at home this season…his 20 multi-hit games are third-most on the team behind Wil Myers (21) and Manuel Margot (25).

· Manuel Margot belted his eighth homer of the season… this homestand, he is hitting 12-for-24 (.500) with a double, a triple, three homers and six RBI.

o Has five multi-hit games in his past six games, and he leads the team with 25 multi-hit games.

· RHP Kirby Yates earned his first save in a Padres uniform…it was his second career save (his first coming on July 20, 2014 at MIN, while pitching for Tampa Bay in his rookie season).

PITTSBURGH NOTES:

• Tonight, the Pirates streak of 59 straight games with at least one extra-base hit came to an end.
  • Pittsburgh’s last game with all singles came on May 21 vs. Philadelphia.
• Starter RHP Ivan Nova was saddled with his eighth loss of the season, and in three career starts at Petco Park, he is now 1-1 with a 2.60 ERA (5 ER, 17.1 IP)...he has allowed four-more-runs in six of his 21 starts this season...Nova’s 5.0 innings of work in tonight’s game tied for the fewest he has thrown in a game this season (3x; previous: July 23 at COL).
• David Freese had his 18th multi-hit effort, and he has now hit safely in each of his last nine starts, going 13-for-32 (.406).
