In 2014, when the Padres fell behind by two runs, fans would pretty much know the game was over. In 2015, that is in no way the case.
The Padres overcame a somewhat sub-par start by ace James Shields (at least by his standards) and a 4-2 deficit to beat the Cubs 5-4 on Friday afternoon at Wrigley Field.
Outfielder Wil Myers dealt the big blow, a 3-run home run in the 7th inning that proved to be the game-winner. Myers had three hits on the day.
The Padres were the first team to face Kris Bryant, the Cubs third baseman, former USD Torero, and top prospect in baseball, who made his MLB debut. Bryant went 0-4, striking out his first three at-bats, but did play a solid 3rd in the field.
The Padres are now 7-4 on the season.
