"Matthew Boyd had issues in the opening inning, giving up an RBI single to Jackson Merrill, followed by a two-run double by Ty France that gave San Diego a 3-0 advantage."
"The Cubs starter finally came out with a man on second in the 5th and was replaced by Ben Brown. The reliever allowed a walk on an obvious strike that the Cubs couldn't challenge due to some poor decisions early."
"San Diego got important insurance against Phil Maton in the 7th inning when France tripled home a pair. Gavin Sheets added a solo homer against Jacob Webb that made it 9-5 in the 8th."
"A couple of runs scored, but they came up short and lost 9-7. Key Moment Brown threw a 2-2 pitch to France in the bottom of the 5th that was called a ball despite being over the middle of the plate."
The Cubs faced the Padres and lost 9-7, marking their third straight defeat. Matthew Boyd struggled early, allowing three runs in the first inning. Seiya Suzuki hit a solo homer, and Moisés Ballesteros hit a grand slam, giving the Cubs a 5-3 lead. However, Boyd's continued struggles allowed the Padres to regain the lead. The Cubs loaded the bases in the ninth but fell short despite scoring two runs. A critical missed call on a pitch to Ty France contributed to the loss.
