The San Diego Padres lost 3-1 to the Chicago Cubs in Game 1 of the National League Wild Card series. Seiya Suzuki and Carson Kelly hit back-to-back homers off San Diego starter Nick Pivetta in the fifth inning, flipping the game. The Padres fans on social media were not thrilled with manager Mike Shildt's decisions in the loss. Shildt decided to walk Busch, which immediately backfired on a wild pitch. The Cubs' win on Tuesday was their first in the postseason since 2017, and now they are one win away from the NLDS.
