The Cubs played a largely uneventful game against the Padres in Peoria Monday afternoon. The two teams combined for only three runs and San Diego was able to pull out a late 2-1 victory.
Jordan Wicks made his third start of the spring and was pretty solid, giving up just a 3rd inning RBI single to Fernando Tatís Jr. in 3.1 frames of work. Newly signed Cub Garrett Cooper doubled home Christopher Morel to even the score in the top of the 5th.
The game remained tied until the bottom of the 8th when the Padres took the lead on a sacrifice fly.
