The Padres finished off a 5-1 homestand with a 4-2 win over the Cubs, and maintaining the best record in baseball in the process. Nick Pivetta delivered another quality start at Petco Park, allowing just 1 earned run while striking out 6 in 6 innings of work. San Diego's offense was patient and displayed strong plate discipline, drawing seven walks while only striking out four times. Manny Machado went 2-4 with two run-producing hits and made a spectacular defensive play in the 9th inning, while Fernando Tatis Jr. drew a crucial walk with the bases loaded in the 8th inning to give the Padres a 2-run cushion. Robert Suarez picked up his 8th save of the season, and the Padres continued to overcome early season injuries by finding a way to win. They now hit the road for series against the Astros and Tigers.
