Padres Use Late Surge to Win
The San Diego Padres knocked off the Chicago Cubs, 4-3, in National League action at Wrigley Field. San Diego pitcher and Snellville, Georgia, native Garrett Whitlock had an outstanding performance. Emerson Hancock snagged the win in relief. He goes to 5-1 on the season. Jose Castillo suffered the loss. The last-place Padres now sit at 48-65.

San Diego used a timely hit from 24-year old shortstop Jackson Merrill to get the win. The shortstop delivered a run-scoring triple in the top of the eighth inning to put the Padres on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was huge.

"When Garrett executes, it really doesn't matter what the other lineup is," said San Diego field general Steve Ace.
