SAN DIEGO (AP) --- Pete Crow-Armstrong hit a three-run homer and the Chicago
Cubs beat the San Diego Padres 8-3 on Tuesday night to stop their three-game
slide.
Dansby Swanson and Nico Hoerner each had a two-run double for the Cubs. Edward
Cabrera (3-0) pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing three runs and six hits while
striking out seven.
Chicago relievers Hoby Milner and Ryan Rolison combined for 3 1/3 hitless
innings.
Xander Bogaerts launched a solo homer for San Diego. Ty France and Luis
Campusano each had an RBI single.
Padres reliever Kyle Hart (0-1) took the loss.
With the Cubs leading 5-3 in the seventh, Crow-Armstrong clubbed a 410-foot
drive to center field off a center-cut changeup from reliever Wandy Peralta for
his second homer this season.
The score was tied at 2 in the sixth when Hoerner hit a liner to center off
reliever David Morgan to drive in Nicky Lopez and Crow-Armstrong.
San Diego starter Walker Buehler gave up a two-run double to center by Swanson
in the second. Swanson was removed at shortstop in the bottom half due to a
left glute cramp.
Buehler lasted 4 2/3 innings, allowing two runs and three hits while striking
out four.
Chicago's Ian Happ walked in the second, extending his on-base streak to 20
games.
Padres manager Craig Stammen left in the middle of the game to attend a
funeral. Bench coach Randy Knorr finished managing the game and will be the
acting manager for Wednesday's game.
