## Resource

Fernando Tatis Jr. blasted the first pitch into the stands for a home run, setting the tone in a fireworks-filled game that saw nine total homers fueled by wind-assisted blasts. The Cubs surged ahead with a six-run fifth, held on for a 9-7 win, and clinched the series against the Padres — now on a four-game skid. While the Padres mounted a late rally, Chicago’s bullpen locked it down. The Cubs’ victory wasn’t just about power — their defense and command shone, while the Padres’ control issues cost them. With five straight wins over San Diego this season, the Cubs are hitting their stride as the Padres search for answers.
