Oneil Cruz homers off Mason Miller in 9th, sending Pirates to a 1-0 win over Padres
Cruz’s 17th homer ended Miller’s 73-game scoreless streak without allowing a long ball, and the Pirates’ bullpen held San Diego hitless after the eighth.
- On Tuesday, Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Oneil Cruz hit a solo home run off San Diego Padres closer Mason Miller in the ninth inning, securing a 1-0 victory at Petco Park.
- Miller had previously gone 73 consecutive appearances without allowing a home run, a streak that extended since August 2025 when Arizona's Lourdes Gurriel Jr. last took him deep.
- Both starters pitched brilliantly; Pittsburgh's Paul Skenes allowed three hits over six scoreless innings while San Diego's Michael King permitted five hits across seven scoreless frames.
- Gregory Soto earned the win after throwing a scoreless eighth inning for Pittsburgh, and Mason Montgomery recorded his sixth save to seal the narrow victory.
- The loss interrupted the Padres' 21-7 surge into playoff position, narrowing their lead for the final National League wild-card spot to one game.
