Kyle Tucker hit his first Wrigley Field home run, a two-run drive to right field in the second inning that gave the Cubs a 7-3 lead Sunday.

“It was nice,” Tucker said of the blast off Padres reliever Logan Gillaspie. “Obviously, I would rather finish with a win, but I feel comfortable up there. Putting together some good at-bats, trying to square up the ball as much as I can.”

Tucker did that despite another chilly day at Wrigley, a stark departure from his former home in Houston that came with a retractable roof in a much-different climate.
