127

Hey hey! The first place Cubs came back to beat the Padres 3-2 on Tuesday behind a dominant start from Shōta Imanaga (7 IP, 2 ER, 8 K), a homer from Cody Bellinger in his first game back from the IL, and a walk-off home run from Michael Busch on the first pitch in the bottom of the ninth!

Imanaga continued his dominant start to the season, which features a 1.08 ERA and a 0.82 WHIP with a 43/5 K/BB ratio.

Busch's 2-for-4 night raised his season OPS to .816 and Bellinger went 3-for-4.

Most importantly, the bullpen threw two scoreless innings of relief to keep the North Siders in the game.

The series wraps up Wednesday afternoon at Wrigley before the Cubs have an off day Thursday.

37 games down, 125 to go. Go Cubs go!
