Remember what happened the last time the San Diego Padres were at Wrigley Field? They scored 41 runs in a four-game sweep. The Friars are unlikely to score that many again, especially considering it’s only a three-game series, but the offense is entering Chicago in a much better spot than where it was a week ago.
Last Tuesday, the Padres scored just one run in a loss against the Atlanta Braves and that came after the offense didn’t score a single run in two straight games. Entering tonight, the Padres offense has scored 12 runs in their last two games and have won four of their last five.
