Padres fall to Cubs 9-7 despite Tatis' two home runs

The San Diego Padres lost to the Chicago Cubs 9-7 on June 30, 2026, at Wrigley Field. Despite Fernando Tatis Jr.'s solo home run to start the game, the Cubs quickly equalized and took a lead they would not relinquish. Tatis later hit another homer in the eighth inning, contributing to a late rally, but it fell short. The Padres will look to avoid a three-game sweep against the Cubs with Walker Buehler scheduled to start today at 11:20 a.m.
