After a brief setback with their loss on Wednesday, the Chicago Cubs (15-10) got back on track Thursday with a convincing 5-1 victory over the San Diego Padres (12-12), via MLB The Show 20. Tyler Chatwood had his best start of the year, Kris Bryant homered twice, and that’s all the Cubs would need to take the finale of this three-game set at Wrigley Field.
Chatwood faced off against 31-year-old right-hander Garrett Richards, who made his fifth start of the simulated 2020 season after pitching just 147 1/3 innings over 31 starts the last four seasons combined.
