Nick Pivetta was lights out for the Padres, who beat the Nationals 1-0 to take two of three in the series. Pivetta tossed seven shutout innings, striking out 10 while allowing just three hits and no walks. It was Pivetta's fourth time getting through seven scoreless frames this season. He needed just 90 pitches to do so Wednesday afternoon.

The victory earned the Padres their second consecutive series win, as they finished 4-2 on their homestand against the Royals and Nationals.
