Cubs edge Padres in close game at Petco Park.

The Chicago Cubs won again last night, thanks in part to Jameson Taillon's first good start with the team. Dansby Swanson continued his impressive season with his sixth homer of the year. Julian Merryweather has been solid since his rough first outing, and Mark Leiter Jr. bounced back from a tough game. Justin Steele is expected to play catch today after being diagnosed with a mild forearm strain, and Cody Bellinger is running but not yet at full speed.
