San Diego Padres look to rebound against Chicago Cubs after loss to Dodgers

The San Diego Padres aim to recover from a tough series against the Los Angeles Dodgers as they prepare for a matchup with the Chicago Cubs. After winning the first game, the Padres lost consecutive games, primarily due to poor pitching performance from starters Randy Vásquez and Michael King, who together allowed 11 runs. The Padres’ offense struggled significantly, hitting just 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position. Starting pitcher Griffin Canning seeks a bounce-back performance after a challenging outing against the Atlanta Braves. Chicago's Shota Imanaga, who has a history of success against the Padres, will start for the Cubs.
