Pirates beat Padres in 10 innings after third rally of night
manager Bob Melvin, who didn’t have his closer Saturday night, showed immense faith in his starter.
“The bullpen has been so good,” Melvin said."... Sometimes it just doesn’t play out the way you want it to.” With closer Taylor Rogers unavailable after saving three games in the previous three days and Robert Suarez having pitched two innings Friday, it was going to be up to Steven Wilson and Luis Garcia to finish a close game.
“You’re not going to be perfect all the time,’ Melvin said. “And, you know, when you give up a couple runs like that, it’s our job to come back out and pick him up. We did. We scored one run. They ended up scoring two.”Manaea found his way through a fourth quality start, allowing three runs in 6 2/3 innings. Manaea came within six pitches of his career high on Saturday and left what could have been short work to the bullpen.
