The Chicago Cubs rolled into San Diego for a three game set on the heels of dropping three of four in San Francisco and proceeded to drop yet another on this West Coast trip, losing 9-4 to the Padres.
If you had told David Ross that Cubs pitching would hold Fernando Tatis Jr. to an 0-for-5 night, he probably would have liked his chances. Alas, the Padres didn’t need their superstar shortstop as the rest of the offense picked up the slack by pouring nine runs on the Cubs, including five on the usually leakproof bullpen.
