And on Sunday, they got two pivotal plays in the 10th, with Grisham’s being the biggest. Hayes hit a three-run homer in the ninth inning of Saturday night’s 4-2 win, when the Padres stranded 16 baserunners. Gore held the Pirates to two singles in seven scoreless innings — his longest outing — while striking out nine and walking three. Padres: Slugger Manny Machado, who leads the NL with a .357 average, missed his second straight game with tennis elbow. Padres: RHP Nick Martinez (2-2, 3.86) is scheduled to start Monday in the opener of a three-game series at St. Louis.
