Padres vs Cubs: Canning's Crossroads | MLB News

Padres head to Chicago for a high-stakes three-game series against a surging Cubs team, fresh off a brutal loss to the Dodgers but riding momentum from a Braves sweep. The Cubs are on fire, winning six of seven and eight of ten, and already took two of three from the Padres back in April. Monday’s opener pits struggling Padres ace Griffin Canning — whose ERA is climbing and roster spot is in jeopardy — against shaky Cubs starter Shota Imanaga, who’s surrendered four+ runs in half his recent starts. Tuesday brings a surprise hero: J.P. Sears, who impressed in his unexpected start last week and may be poised for a bigger role.
