Pirates 3, Padres 2

In San Diego, Josh Fogg (1-0) allowed one run and four hits in 6 1-3 innings, and also singled and scored as Pittsburgh beat San Diego for its first win.

Fogg and three relievers combined on a six-hitter. Jose Mesa pitched the ninth but gave up a two-out RBI double to Khalil Greene before getting the save.

Craig Wilson hit a bases-loaded, two-run single with two outs in the third off Brian Lawrence (0-1) after Fogg opened the inning with a single.

Giants 10, Rockies 8

In San Francisco, Marquis Grissom hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the ninth and San Francisco beat Colorado.

Grissom connected on a 2-2 pitch from Scott Dohmann that hit the left-field wall and bounced over for his first homer of the year.

Jason Christiansen (1-0) pitched a perfect ninth for the victory, spoiling a remarkable rally by the Rockies.
