PITTSBURGH — Eric Hosmer hit two doubles and scored the go-ahead run and Tyson Ross won for the first time in more than a month as the San Diego Padres cooled off the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-2 on Friday night.

Hosmer, signed to a $144-million, eight-year contract as a free agent in February, doubled with two outs in the sixth inning off Ivan Nova and Franchy Cordero followed by a lining a single into left field. That broke a 2-2 tie and sent Pittsburgh to its second loss in 10 games.

Ross (3-3) ended a five-start winless streak by giving up two runs and five hits in six innings while striking out two and walking four. It was his first victory since April 13 against San Francisco.

Austin Meadows, filling in for Starling Marte in center field, made his major league debut for the Pirates and had two hits and a stolen base. A first-round draft pick in 2013, Meadows was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis earlier in the day when Marte was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a strained right oblique.

Brad Hand got the final four outs for his 13th save in 15 opportunities. He induced Gregory Polanco to ground out to end the eighth inning after entering with the bases loaded, then worked around Corey Dickerson’s leadoff double in the ninth.

Travis Jankowski also had two hits for San Diego, which is 8-8 in May after finishing April with a 10-20 record.

Dickerson had two hits for the Pirates, who stranded 13 runners.

Nova (2-4) allowed three runs — two earned — and six hits in six innings. He is 0-4 in his last six starts.

Hosmer doubled and scored on Raffy Lopez’s grounder in the fourth inning to pull the Padres into a 2-2 tie. The Pirates’ Josh Bell doubled in a run in the first and Dickerson had an RBI single in the third.
