SAN DIEGO -- The Padres will be riding plenty of good vibes into Chicago.
They completed their regular season with a sweep of the Diamondbacks, including a 12-4 thrashing on Sunday afternoon at Petco Park. San Diego finished its regular season at 90-72 -- marking consecutive seasons with at least 90 wins for the first time in franchise history.
Next up is a trip to Wrigley Field for a Wild Card Series against the Cubs beginning on Tuesday. First pitch is slated for 12:08 p.m. PT.
The Padres packed to leave for Chicago immediately after Sunday’s game, and they’ll hold a workout at Wrigley Field on Monday afternoon. They clinched their spot in the playoffs on Monday and knew by Thursday that they’d be facing the Cubs, having been eliminated from contention in the National League West. B
