Nick Pivetta shut down Washington through seven brilliant innings, including matching his season high with 10 strikeouts, and the San Diego Padres beat the Nationals 1-0 on Wednesday to take two of three in the series.

Nick Pivetta tossed seven shutout innings Wednesday and the San Diego Padres logged their MLB-high 13th shutout in a 1-0 victory over the visiting Washington Nationals.

Jeremiah Estrada, who seems to have bounced back from his recent struggles, pitched a scoreless eighth inning with one strikeout. Adrian Morejon got the save opportunity in the top of the ninth with Padres closer Robert Suarez serving the first of his two-game suspension, and faced the minimum three batters to earn his second save of the season.
