The San Diego Padres have been one of the worst-hitting teams in baseball this year and they're not going to let something like winning a game stop them. They managed to defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday night, getting one-hit in the process. Pirates starter Francisco Liriano allowed a bunt single to Everth Cabrera in the first inning, and that was it, hit-wise, for the rest of the game.

Liriano aided the Padres cause with six walks in his five innings of work, though he was able to limit the damage by striking out seven. Only Padres managed to get the ball out of the infield, with one of those being a ball caught by the second baseman in short right field.
It was the second time in the last five seasons the Padres had managed a win despite being one-hit, with their last feat coming on April 20, 2010 when they beat the Giants despite the efforts of starter Jonathan Sanchez.
The Pirates' three runs were scored on a sacrifice fly, an error and a bases-loaded walk. Ian Kennedy was excellent once again for San Diego as he allowed two runs in six innings, striking out seven in the effort.
