Tight Tilt Goes to Padres, 4-3
The Padres grabbed a win, 4-3, at Wrigley Field, overcoming a fine effort from Chicago pitcher Yadier Alvarez. Alvarez went 5 innings and allowed 3 runs. Picking up the save was Sam Hentges, his 9th. At 45-54, the Padres find themselves in third place in the National League West Division.

San Diego used the timely hitting of LaMonte Wade Jr. to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Padres on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"We'll kick back tonight, then get set for the next one," Wade Jr. said.
