After winning their MLB postseason opener, the Chicago Cubs can advance to the National League Division Series with a victory over the San Diego Padres at Wrigley Field on Wednesday, Oct. 1.
The Cubs took Game 1 of the wild card series by a 3-1 score, going ahead with back-to-back home runs from Seiya Suzuki and Carson Kelly and never looking back.
"I don't think it's much different than yesterday," Cubs manager Craig Counsell told reporters before Game 2. "You've got to do everything right to win a baseball game. That's all that you think about. Nothing else really comes into your head because it's a tall task to win playoff games."
Dylan Cease (8-12, 4.55 ERA) starts for the Padres, while the Cubs will opt for a bullpen game opened by right-hander Andrew Kittredge.
