What a strange little game, the Cubs’ 6-5 win over the Padres on a steamy afternoon at Wrigley Field.
The Padres had four hits in the first inning, but managed just one run, and a couple of the hits were infield dribblers. Jon Lester then settled down and threw a quick second inning on just nine pitches, but served up a two-run homer to Manny Machado in the third to make it 3-0 Padres.
Machado got booed in the lineup introduction and when he came to bat. I’m not sure I get this.
