Cubs 8, Padres 2: Willson Contreras has himself a night

Willson Contreras might just be setting himself up to have that monster, MVP-type season we’ve all dreamed he could have. (One particular front-page writer on this site would certainly be very happy about that.)

Contreras went 3-for-4 and drove in five runs Wednesday evening and the Cubs crushed the Padres 8-2.

The game went into the bottom of the second with the Cubs up 1-0. Ian Happ walked leading off the first, went to third on a Contreras single and scored on a wild pitch.

With two out in the second, this happened [VIDEO].
