CHICAGO (AP) \u2014 Seiya Suzuki hit a game-ending single off Mason Miller in the ninth inning, and the Chicago Cubs beat the San Diego Padres 3-2 on Monday night.<\/p>\n
Dansby Swanson and Pete Crow-Armstrong started the decisive rally with a pair of singles off Jason Adam (2-2). Miller then came in and surrendered Alex Bregman\u2019s single to center, loading the bases.<\/p>\n
Michael Busch followed with a flyball to left, and Jase Bowen cut down Swanson when he attempted to score on the play. Suzuki then sent Bowen all the way back to the ivy-covered wall with a drive to left. Bowen tried to make a leaping catch, but was unable to haul it in.<\/p>\n
It was Suzuki\u2019s second career game-ending hit and Chicago\u2019s major league-leading 10th walk-off win this season.<\/p>\n
Trent Thornton (3-2) worked the ninth for the win. Fernando Tatis Jr. hit a one-out single, but he was thrown out by catcher Miguel Amaya when he attempted to steal second.<\/p>\n
San Diego opened a 2-0 lead when Miguel And\u00fajar scored on Xander Bogaerts\u2019 double in the fourth. And\u00fajar finished with three hits.<\/p>\n
Chicago got one back on Michael Conforto\u2019s RBI single in the fourth. Suzuki tied it at 2 with a sacrifice fly in the fifth.<\/p>\n
Cubs left-hander Shota Imanaga allowed nine hits in 6 1\/3 innings in his first quality start since May 13. It was a sorely needed performance after the Cubs used seven pitchers in a 4-3 win at Milwaukee on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Griffin Canning started for the Padres and surrendered five hits in 4 1\/3 innings on warm and windy night at Wrigley Field. The Padres had used an opener in front of the right-hander in his previous two outings.<\/p>\n
Up next<\/p>\n
JP Sears (1-0,3.18 ERA) starts for the Padres on Tuesday, and fellow left-hander Matthew Boyd (2-1, 5.02 ERA) takes the mound for the Cubs.<\/p>\n
