It seemed like this one was turning around and the Cubs (77-67) might even gain some ground in the Central and Wild Card races. Alas, it was not to be as Steve Cishek walked three Padres (67-77) hitters in the bottom of the 10th after a one-out hit, dropping the second game of the four game set 9-8.
Neither starter was very good in this one, with José Quintana lasting three innings for the Cubs and Ronald Bolaños eking out five for the Padres. Quintana was victimized by two unearned runs in the bottom of the 2nd when Ben Zobrist threw a would-be double play ball into left field to put the Cubs in an early hole.
