Padres Get Historic Beatdown by Cubs | Chicago Cubs News

The Padres endured their worst defeat in franchise history, getting obliterated 23-3 by the Cubs at Wrigley Field — a historic beatdown fueled by eight homers from Chicago and a franchise-record 23 runs surrendered. Walker Buehler had his worst start, allowing nine earned runs in four innings, while communication breakdowns added to the chaos. Seiya Suzuki hit his 100th career homer, Dansby Swanson crushed three homers and drove in eight runs, and the Cubs set new team marks for homers in a game and over two games. The Padres’ postgame show cut off before manager Craig Stammen could speak, adding to the frustration. The lone bright spot? Sung-Mun Song’s first MLB homer. Now on a five-game skid and 2.5 games out of a wild card spot, San Diego heads into a critical series against the Dodgers with plenty to fix.
