The San Diego Padres won Game 1 against the Los Angeles Dodgers but lost the next two, mainly due to poor performances from starters Randy Vásquez and Michael King, who allowed 11 runs combined. As they prepare to face the Chicago Cubs, the Padres need to improve their offense after a dismal 1-for-8 performance with runners in scoring position. Tonight, Griffin Canning will pitch against Cubs’ Shota Imanaga, who has struggled this season. The Padres’ bullpen remains fresh, which could be crucial if the offense can support Canning effectively.
