Padres tie season low with three hits, have scored three runs in 30 innings; MacKenzie Gore allows three runs in five innings
ndOn Petco Park’s video boards between most innings, clips of the late Hall of Famer played and were met with applause from the robust Monday crowd of 41,595 and players in both dugouts.
The only runs the Padres have scored in 28 innings since mid-game Friday came on Jorge Alfaro’s three-run walk-off homer Sunday against the Marlins. Williams addressed the media postgame, as the Padres have been hit with some health issues. Bob Melvin managed the game but was still dealing with a gastrointestinal illness that kept form managing this past Thursday and almost kept him from Petco Park on Monday. Bench coach Ryan Christenson was in COVID protocols postgame. In the clubhouse afterward, some players and staff were wearing masks for the first time this season.
The Cubs, who won for the first time in six games, led 1-0 two batters into the game on Willson Contreras’ single and Seiya Suzuki’s double.The Cubs added a run on three singles in the fourth inning and another one on a pair of singles and double-play grounder in the fifth. Gore was at 89 pitches when that inning ended.
