June 1, 2021 (Chicago) - The Padres ended May with a loss and hoped to start June with a win in Chicago. Ryan Weathers started today’s game two against Kyle Hendricks for the Cubs.
Patrick Wisdom kicked things off for the Cubs in the second with a two-run homer to give Chicago a 2-0 lead after two.
Ex-Cub Victor Caratini celebrated being back in Chicago with a solo homer in the fifth to right center. Tommy Pham followed him up with a two-run launch to left center and the Padres suddenly found themselves in the lead 3-2.
But the fun was short-lived as Wilson Contreras hit a two-run shot to left in the bottom of the fifth and the Cubs reclaimed the lead and took it to the house to take game two and the series with a 4-3 win. The Padres fall to 34-22.
