A three-run outburst in the seventh inning carried the Padres to a 5-4 triumph over the Pirates. San Diego was behind, 4-2, going into the bottom of the seventh. The first run of that frame came in on an RBI single by Juan Bonilla and the next two tallies on a triple by Gene Richards. Rookie Eric Show earned his first major league save by checking the Bucs through the final two innings. [The Sporting News]
