The Cubs took their eighth consecutive defeat while the Padres
won for the ninth time in 12 games.
Jake Cronenworth added three hits, Nomar Mazara had two hits and
three RBIs and Jorge Alfaro homered late for San Diego, which
scored four runs in the sixth inning and six in the seventh. Off
to the franchise's best start (39-24), the Padres have also won
a season-high five straight on the road, where they are a
National League-best 22-11.
Willson Contreras homered for two of his three hits and had
three RBIs for the Cubs, who have been outscored 65-21 during
their season-worst skid. Chicago has dropped four straight at
home, where it is 11-22.
Stymied for five innings, San Diego awoke after Chicago starter
Kyle Hendricks was pulled following Cronenworth's double to open
the sixth. Making his first start since June 1 after recovering
from a shoulder issue, Hendricks was charged with one run while
allowing four hits and no walks. He struck out six.
Chris Martin replaced him in the sixth and gave up the two-run
homer to Voit and later an RBI single to Mazara. Scott Effross
then allowed a run-scoring single to Ha-Seong Kim to make it
5-4.
Effross yielded back-to-back singles to Trent Grisham and
Cronenworth to open the seventh. Mychal Givens then walked Manny
Manchado to load the bases, which were cleared on a double to
right by Voit. Mazara lined a single to right off Brandon Hughes
that scored two, and Kim's sacrifice fly gave San Diego a 10-5
lead.
Contreras went deep into the right field bleachers off San
Diego's Sean Manaea in the first. With a man on in the third
inning, Contreras drove a towering shot over the left field ivy.
Chicago added another run with Nico Hoerner's RBI triple in the
fourth, and the Cubs made it 5-0 on Frank Schwindel's
run-scoring groundout in the fifth.
Manaea yielded five runs and eight hits over four-plus innings.
Kyle Tyler (1-0) gave up just one hit over two scoreless innings
in his 2022 debut to earn his first major league win.
