SD 5, CHC 4: Shields K's 9, Myers and Middlebro go deep

After a day of chillaxing relaxing all cool the Padres are ready to start the series against the Cubs. Top prospect Kris Bryant gets called up and experiences what the big leagues are like first hand.

The hubbub started early in Chicago. With gaudy construction occupying the bleachers of Wrigley the Padres were ready to begin their seven-game road trip starting against the Cubbies. Well before the game it was announced that the Cubs would be calling up Kris Bryant, their big-name prospect hailing from USD. But he'd get a tough introduction to the major leagues, as the first pitcher he'd face is James Shields.
