The Chicago Cubs did all of the following in Wednesday afternoon's game against the San Diego Padres:
A misplayed ball that should have been caught by Jason Heyward
Nico Hoerner running into umpire Dan Lassogna and leaving the game with a minor injury
Scott Effross being forced to get probably six outs in the sixth inning because of poor defensive choices
Struck out 10 times
And despite all that, the Cubs won the game 7-5, taking the series from the Padres. How? They did get some good relief pitching when it was most needed and got some key hits with runners on, going 5-for-11 with RISP. It's the first series win for the Cubs since the opening set of this season against the Brewers, both of those series victories coming against very good teams.
