The Chicago Cubs defeat the San Diego Padres 3-2 in a Monday night game decided in the ninth inning. Seiya Suzuki hits a game-ending single off reliever Mason Miller, scoring the winning run. Chicago’s decisive rally begins earlier in the frame when Dansby Swanson and Pete Crow-Armstrong open the inning with consecutive singles off Jason Adam (who enters the game with a 2-2 record in the report). Alex Bregman then reaches on a single to center off Miller, which loads the bases and sets up the finish. The Padres’ run against the Cubs is limited to one late scoring threat, but the Cubs capitalize on their late opportunities to take the lead and hold it for the final margin. The game ends with Suzuki delivering the final hit as Miller is charged with the decisive play.
