Cease (5-2) racked up 12 strikeouts and gave up
two walks in a masterful effort. The Cubs were retired in order
in four of the seven innings Cease pitched, including two
instances where he struck out the side.
It marked the fifth time in Cease's last six outings where he
gave up one or fewer earned runs.
Chicago got its lone hit in the third inning, when Yan Gomes got
an infield single. Nico Hoerner was hit by a pitch shortly
after, giving the Cubs two baserunners for the only time in the
game, but Mike Tauchman flied out to end the inning.
Wandy Peralta and Robert Suarez, who got his 12th save of the
season, followed Cease's lead and kept the Cubs off the bases.
San Diego took a 1-0 lead in the first inning. After Luis Arraez
was hit by a pitch to lead off the game, Manny Machado brought
him home two outs later with an RBI single to put the Padres in
front.
The Padres scored again in the fifth inning. Luis Campusano and
Arraez each singled for San Diego. Fernando Tatis Jr. singled
home Campusano before Jake Cronenworth followed with an RBI
double to give San Diego a 3-0 lead. Machado grounded out to
shortstop with two runners in scoring position.
Cubs starter Hayden Wesneski (2-1) was removed after pitching
six innings. He gave up three runs on seven hits with three
strikeouts in the loss.
Chicago relievers Richard Lovelady, Adbert Alzolay and Keegan
Thompson came out of the bullpen and kept the Padres at bay,
holding them to no runs and one hit over the last three innings.
