Cubs struggle against Padres in Wild Card Game 1 streaming issues

Chicago Cubs faced the San Diego Padres in Game 1 of the Wild Card round, but their offense faltered against Padres pitching, narrowly avoiding a no-hitter. Starting pitcher Michael King systematically disrupted the Cubs' hitting approach, which relies on patience and drawing walks. The game was streamed on Peacock and NBC Sports Network, affecting viewership as some fans lacked access due to provider limitations. Game 2 is scheduled tonight, with the Cubs needing a strong response to stay in the postseason.
