The San Diego Padres head to PNC Park for a four-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates starting April 6, both clubs grappling with sub-.500 starts after playing six games apiece. Padres (1-3) dropped their first two to the Giants over the weekend, hampered by rotation absences including Joe Musgrove's elbow inflammation and Griffin Canning's Achilles tear on the injured list. Pirates (1-3) salvaged one win in an extra-innings thriller versus the Mets before a loss to the Reds, missing Jared Jones (60-day IL) and several relievers like Chris Devenski. Probable opener pits Michael King against Mitch Keller, with Padres holding a dominant 9-1 edge in recent head-to-heads, though Pittsburgh's home-field advantage and early-season pitching matchups add uncertainty.
