The Padres have only been swept in a series twice this season and the most recent one came via the hands of the Cubs earlier this month. In their first game against each other since, the Friars offense showed up in a big way, rattling off nine runs (their most this month) en route to thwarting the Cubs 9-4 on Monday night in Petco Park.
Newly reinstated Brian O’grady and Manny Machado were far-and-away your offensive MVPs from last night. Both finished with a team-high three RBIs and both also went yard on the night.
