CHICAGO — The Padres weathered their first real pitching predicament of the season Wednesday night.
And more.
Ryan Weathers came up from Triple-A to give them 3 2/3 innings in his first major league start since September, the bullpen chipped in like it rarely has had to this season and the Padres continued to pound the pathetically thin Cubs pitching staff en route to a 19-5 victory at Wrigley Field.
