The Padres are one of the best offenses in baseball, but the Cubs were up for the challenge and had their power hitting shoes on to face the National League West’s best.
The Cubs closed the month of May with a bang, using four homers to carry them to a 7-2 win over the Padres at Wrigley Field.
The Cubs trailed 1-0 early, but got the lead right back in the third inning. After Kris Bryant kept the inning alive with a two-out triple, shortstop Javy Baez got every bit of 3-2 changeup from Chris Paddack, blasting a 455-foot homer to give the Cubs a 2-1 lead.
