Padres pitcher Eric Stults earned a win Saturday, giving up only one earned run on seven hits in 6 1/3 innings and striking out six in his team's 2-1 victory over the Pirates.
Stults (5-13) was handed two runs with which to work by the offense by the time he took the mound in the bottom of the first, and while he gave back one run in his first frame, he blanked the Pirates over the remainder of his outing. He owns a 4.76 ERA and 80:32 K:BB ratio in 123 innings. Stults is scheduled to face the Cardinals Thursday.
