The Cubs resumed spring training on Friday after dropping a pair of regular season games in Japan this week. Chicago did not play any opening day starters in their return to Sloan Park and the Padres won fairly easily.
Cade Horton got the start and threw two scoreless innings but the Cubs did not do anything with the bats either. Most of the San Diego offense came from Tyler Wade who had an RBI single and a two-run homer and by the 8th inning they had a 5-0 lead.
The North Siders got a run back on a solo shot by top prospect Moises Ballesteros in the bottom of the frame.
