On The Horizon: Cubs vs. Padres series preview
The San Diego Padres come into Wrigley Field riding a seven-game losing streak and with the worst record in the National League. At 42-68, they are on pace for a 62-100 season, which would be the sixth 100-loss season in franchise history, though the first since 1993.
They are last in the N.L. in runs scored and third-worst in runs allowed. They are bad in night games (30-48, .385) and worse in day games (12-20, .375). They went 5-20 in July, which was their worst calendar month since their first year of existence, when they went 5-22 in August 1969.
