Ty France Powers Padres Past Cubs in 9-7 Slugfest as Miller's Streak Snaps

The San Diego Padres continued their recent hot streak, outlasting the Chicago Cubs 9-7 on Monday night, thanks to a monster performance from Ty France and timely hitting throughout the lineup. The victory marked another statement win for a surging Padres squad, while also bringing an end to Cubs pitcher Miller's impressive scoreless streak.

France, who has provided a major spark since joining San Diego, drove in four runs with a double and a triple, pacing the Padres’ offense in a back-and-forth contest. His contributions came at critical moments, helping the Padres build and preserve their lead despite a persistent Cubs rally.

• Ty France: 4 RBIs (double, triple)
• Padres: 9 runs on the night
• Miller’s scoreless streak ends

The Padres’ offense showed no signs of slowing down, with Manny Machado also playing a key role. The win adds to San Diego’s momentum as they continue to climb in the standings, fueled by a lineup that has found its rhythm in recent games.

Miller, who had been dominant on the mound for the Cubs, saw his streak of consecutive scoreless innings come to an end against a relentless Padres attack. Despite the setback, Chicago kept the game close, mounting several late-inning rallies but ultimately falling short in the high-scoring affair.

San Diego’s ability to deliver in clutch situations and capitalize on scoring opportunities has been a hallmark of their recent success. The Padres’ victory on Monday not only extends their winning ways but also showcases their depth and the impact of new additions like France.
