The Chicago Cubs are a very bad baseball team. However, they are going to win sometimes and they did just that on Monday night. They defeated the San Diego Padres on the west coast to earn their first win in a long time. It was a wild game but they paid a price for the victory.
In the win, Seiya Suzuki hurt himself. He had a hit and an RBI contributing to the win (it kicked off Chicago’s scoring) before his departure but it is still a huge loss. He has right ankle soreness that apparently occurred when he tried to beat out a double play in the fifth inning.
