"The Cubs put together their big rally in the top of the 7th inning against left-handed reliever Wandy Peralta. Pinch-hitter Alex Bregman hit an RBI single with two outs to increase Chicago's advantage to 5-3."
"Then Pete Crow-Armstrong got hold of a pitch in the middle of the plate and lifted a three-run homer to center field to increase the margin to 8-3."
"Cabrera began to tire in the bottom of that frame, giving up a run-scoring single to Luis Campusano that got the Padres to within 4-3."
The Cubs defeated the Padres 8-3, ending a three-game losing streak. Dansby Swanson's two-run double gave Chicago an early lead, but the Padres tied the game. Nico Hoerner's double put the Cubs ahead again. A significant rally in the seventh inning, featuring Alex Bregman's RBI single and Pete Crow-Armstrong's three-run homer, secured the victory. Ryan Rolison closed the game, marking manager Craig Counsell's 900th career win. The Cubs' pitching and timely hitting contributed to the comfortable win.
