SAN DIEGO (AP) — Rookie Hunter Renfroe hit a grand slam off Kyle Hendricks that helped quiet all the Chicago Cubs fans at Petco Park and overshadow a shaky day by San Diego Padres pitchers.
Renfroe's slam pushed the Padres over the Cubs 5-2 on Monday, handing Chicago its fourth straight loss.
As big as that hit was, both teams marveled at how the Cubs had only three hits yet drew 10 walks and had two batters hit by pitches.
"It was enough from an offensive standpoint to overcome what should have been probably a disaster pitching-wise," San Diego manager Andy Green said.
