Chicago Baseball Recap

Cubs Lose to Padres - Yu Darvish pitched a season-high eight innings of five-hit ball, Manny Machado hit a tiebreaking single and Eric Hosmer had a two-run double to cap a three-run eighth inning as the San Diego Padres beat the Chicago Cubs 4-1 Monday night.  Darvish (6-3), pitching at Wrigley Field for the first time since the Cubs traded him to the Padres as the centerpiece of a seven-player trade on Dec. 29, 2020, didn't allow a runner past second base after Yan Gomes hit a home run in the second. "This is a place where a lot happened for me and a lot happened to me," Darvish said. "But I'm really grateful to be here pitching." Taylor Rogers pitched a perfect ninth inning for his 19th save. Click below to read more:
