Jeff Karstens lowered his ERA, got a quality start, but lost the game. Hard to blame anyone for this loss, even ole JR. The Pirates just played a better team. The Padres got the double play when they needed to on McCutchen in 7th and a game ending one in the 9th. This kind of stuff happens. Frustrating to watch Karstens get 3 up 3 down in 5 of his 6 innings and lose the game.
On bright notes, JR pulled the right strings. I did not try to push Karstens passed his limit. He got Dwelven up and he delivered with a pinch hit. Alvarez got a two out RBI. Jose Tabata had multiple hits and stole a base. Other than those offensive spots and Karstens great pitching, there is nothing worth remembering about this game.
