Manny Machado hits second home run of the season, Juan Soto gets first hit of series and scores; Padres don't manage much more
These were Friendly Confines appeared as if they might be very much so on Wednesday afternoon.
The Cubs took the lead on back-to-back home runs in the second inning and went on to win 5-2 at Wrigley Field. The Padres have settled into quite the rhythm of being unable to follow up promising offensive outputs. They have scored more than three runs in successive games just once in their past 17 games.
The Cubs added a run in the second after a Lugo curveball grazed Nick Madrigal’s elbow guard; Tucker Barnhart followed with a fly ball to center field that Trent Grisham lost in the notoriously difficult Chicago sky. Because there were two outs, Madrigal was running on contact and easily scored.
