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.
“It was nice,” Tucker said of the home run off the Padres’ 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 Sunday despite another chilly day at Wrigley Field, a stark departure from his former home in Houston that came with a retractable roof in a much different climate.
