The Chicago Cubs kicked off the NL Wild Card Series with a huge Game 1 win over the San Diego Padres, thanks to a clutch home run from Seiya Suzuki and Carson Kelly. Michael Busch, Ian Happ, and Dansby Swanson helped spark the Cubs offense, while Craig Counsell’s pitching staff, led by Matthew Boyd, kept Padres sluggers Fernando Tatís Jr., Manny Machado, and Nick Pivetta in check. With the Cubs taking a 1-0 lead in the best-of-three series, the pressure is now on San Diego to respond. Join the CHGO Cubs crew — Luke Stuckmeyer, Joey Christopoulos, and Justin Roman — as they break down every moment from this thrilling October victory!
