The San Diego Padres completed a sweep of a bad team on Sunday. They finish a nine-game, 10-day trip next weekend against a horrible team. It is on the bones of such clubs that good teams climb to the postseason.

Xander Bogaerts had two hits and three RBI to lead the San Diego Padres to a 4-0 victory over the host Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday afternoon.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are at home hosting the San Diego Padres this afternoon at beautiful PNC Park. Out of respect to broadcast partners who have paid to carry the game, no mentions of “alternative” (read: illegal) viewing methods are allowed in our threads
