SAN DIEGO – If history tells us anything … this series isn’t finished. Not even close. The Padres and Cubs have met twice before in the postseason and both times -- the 1984 NLCS and last year’s NL Wild Card…
The San Diego Padres host the Chicago Cubs for Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series on Wednesday, following a Game 1 victory by San Diego. Chicago faces elimination and must win to force a decisive Game 3. Right-hander Kevin Gausman will start on the mound for the Cubs, while right-hander Nick Pivetta takes the ball for the Padres.
The Cubs enter with an all-hands-on-deck approach for their bullpen after dropping the opener. Padres manager Craig Stammen noted the series is not over, while prospect Ethan Salas is poised to become the youngest player to catch a postseason game at 20 years and 121 days.
