SAN DIEGO (AP) --- Ty France drove in four runs with a double and a triple to
lead the surging San Diego Padres over the Chicago Cubs 9-7 on Monday night.
Manny Machado had three hits and scored three times for the Padres (19-9), who
won for the 17th time in 21 games. They are 18-5 this month (.783), the best
April winning percentage in franchise history.
Gavin Sheets hit a solo homer in the eighth inning to make it 9-5. Mason Miller
gave up two runs in the ninth, ending his scoreless streak at 34 2/3 innings
dating to last season --- a San Diego record.
Moiss Ballesteros hit his first career grand slam, a 404-foot drive to right
field off Padres starter Randy Vsquez that gave the Cubs a 5-3 lead in the
third.
Seiya Suzuki had a solo homer for Chicago in the second.
The Cubs (17-12) have lost three in a row following a 10-game winning streak.
