Cubs Crush Padres in 9-7 Slugfest | Chicago Cubs News

The Cubs crushed the Padres 9-7 in a fiery slugfest, fueled by Dansby Swanson’s monster two-homer performance and a hot, windy day at Wrigley. Swanson’s power set the tone with a solo shot and a two-run blast, joining Michael Busch and Pete Crow-Armstrong in the long-ball party. Despite Fernando Tatis Jr.’s two homers and contributions from Manny Machado and Gavin Sheets, San Diego’s four-game losing streak continued. Javier Assad battled late homers, but Ryan Rolison locked it down for his first save. With the series finale looming, the Cubs are rolling, and the Padres are desperate to avoid a sweep.
