The San Diego Padres defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-0 on Tuesday night, bolstered by Donovan Solano's impressive performance, which included four hits and four RBIs. The game faced a significant interruption due to a rain delay lasting nearly three hours, with the initial pause occurring after just one inning. Despite the delay, Padres' pitchers combined for eight scoreless innings after Dylan Cease's opening frame, with Bryan Hoeing earning the win. San Diego's offensive surge included a pivotal four-run fifth inning, highlighted by Solano's two-run single that broke the game open. With this victory, the Padres have won 12 of their last 14 games, positioning themselves in the first NL wild-card spot, while the Pirates fell to a .500 record. The game marked a season-high for the Padres, improving their record to 10 games above .500.
