With the game tied at 1 and one out in the Padres' eighth against Koji Uehara, Cordero tripled into the right-center gap and then scored on Yangervis Solarte's fielder's choice with the infield drawn in. Solarte hit the ball to second baseman Ian Happ, who threw home, but Cordero slid under the tag by catcher Willson Contreras.
The Cubs will be happy to turn the calendar after going 12-16 in May, their first non-winning month since last July (12-14).
