PITTSBURGH —Ross Ohlendorf didnt have a happy homecoming. Andre Johnson Authentic Jersey . The Padres
right-hander allowed Clint Barmes first career grand slam in a nine-run fourth
inning and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat San Diego 11-5 on Sunday, ending the
Padres six-game winning streak. Pitching in Pittsburgh for the first time since
being released last October after going 13-27 in four seasons with the Pirates,
Ohlendorf was tagged for seven runs—six earned—on five hits in three-plus
inning while walking three and striking out one. “I was looking forward to
pitching here,” Ohlendorf said. “The first three innings were going well then in
the fourth inning I didnt make very good pitches and they took advantage of
that.” Neil Walker went 5 for 5 with a homer and double for Pittsburgh. The
Padres had won 11 in a row at Pittsburgh dating to 2009. Andrew McCutchen and
Michael McKenry each drove in two runs during the big inning against Ohlendrorf
(4-3) and Cory Burns. Barmes, a 10-year veteran, has 88 career home runs. Walker
had the third five-hit game of his career and second this season, the other
coming July 8 against San Francisco. However, Walker was much happier for
Barmes, who has struggled offensively all season after signing a $10.5 million,
two-year contract in the off-season as a free agent. He is hitting just .217
after going 2 for 5. “But hes one of the best teammates Ive ever had,” Walker
said. “Hes helped me a lot and he has helped this team a lot by playing great
defence. It was good to see him come up with the big hit.” Barmes hadnt
committed in an error in 34 straight games, though, until making two in the
first four innings before redeeming himself with the grand slam. “The grand slam
is the worst result possible in that situation,” San Diego manager Bud Black
said. “Youre still leading 5-2 and the inning is still manageable until that
point.” The Pirates sent 14 batters to the plate in the fourth inning. McKenry
drew a bases-loaded walk from Ohlendorf just before Barmes slam and then singled
in the final run of the inning. “They ambushed us there in the fourth inning and
we just couldnt make the pitches along the way to stem the tide,” Black said.
“If youve been around the game long enough, youll run into those innings where
everything they do works, everything you do doesnt and you cant stop the
momentum. Youve just got to take it.” Logan Forsythe and Jesus Guzman had two
hits each for the Padres and Chris Denorfia led off the game with his fourth
home run. Pittsburgh stopped a three-game skid. On Friday night, San Diego
rallied from six runs down for a 9-8 victory over the Pirates. McCutchen, who
leads the major leagues with a .362 batting average, ended a string of 11
hitless at-bats with a double in the fourth. He finished 2 for 6. Erik Bedard
(7-12) made it through five shaky innings for the win, allowing five runs—
three earned—and five hits with four walks and six strikeouts. The
left-hander improved to 5-0 in his career against the Padres. Denorfias homer
started a four-run inning. Guzman hit an RBI single and two more runs scored
when Barmes, the shortstop, made a throwing error on a groundball by
Cameron Maybin. Forsythe doubled with one in the second and scored when
Chase Headley hit a tapper up the line that McKenry, the catcher, fielded and
threw to first for the out. Forsythe raced home when no one covered home plate.
Walker hit an RBI single in the second to pull the Pirates to 5-1 then moved in
front 10-5 with the big fourth inning. The nine-run inning was Pittsburghs
biggest since it also scored nine on July 20, 2010, against Milwaukee. Walker
homered off Brad Boxberger to lead off the seventh. NOTES: San Diego signed
1B-OF Mark Kotsay to a one-year contract before the game that carries through
the 2013 season. The 36 year old is hitting .275 with one home run and nine RBIs
in 55 games. ... Pittsburgh activated RHP Juan Cruz from the 15-day disabled
list and optioned RHP Jared Hughes to Triple-A Indianapolis. Cruz missed 23
games because of shoulder inflammation. ... Pirates RF Travis Snider did not
start because of tightness in his right hamstring but pinch hit in the sixth
inning and walked. ... The 113,539 series attendance was the second-highest for
a three-game series in PNC Parks 12 seasons. ... The Padres open a four-game
series at Atlanta on Monday night with LHP Eric Stults (2-2, 2.72) facing Braves
LHP Mike Minor (6-8, 4.95). ... The Pirates begin a four-game home series with
the Dodgers on Monday night with RHP Jeff Karstens (4-2, 3.77) pitching against
Los Angeles RHP Aaron Harang (7-7, 3.80). Andre Johnson Elite Jersey . Playing under
