US EditionMachado and Miller star as the Padres beat the Cubs 3-0 in Game 2 of their NL Wild Card Series
Machado's homer provided crucial insurance runs in a 3-0 shutout as the Padres' bullpen dominated to even the series, setting up a winner-take-all Game 3, officials said.
- On Wednesday at Wrigley Field, the San Diego Padres beat the Chicago Cubs 3-0, forcing a deciding Game 3.
- After losing Game 1 on Tuesday, San Diego Padres faced elimination but rallied with Jackson Merrill's early sacrifice fly to gain an early lead at Wrigley Field.
- Four pitchers, including Adrian Morejon and Mason Miller, held Chicago scoreless as Morejon logged seven key outs and Miller struck out multiple batters with 104 mph velocity.
- The winner of Game 3 will advance to the NLDS and the loser will be eliminated from the postseason, with Yu Darvish starting for San Diego and Jameson Taillon for the Chicago Cubs.
- With 2020 precedent, the Padres have bounced back before, overcoming a Game 1 deficit to advance, while San Diego's 39-44 road mark could matter in Thursday's finale at Wrigley Field.
