CHICAGO – The Chicago Cubs secured a crucial victory in Game 3 of the National League Wild Card Series, defeating the San Diego Padres with a score of 3-1. This triumph secures them a spot in the Divisional Series, where they will face the Milwaukee Brewers. Young Pete Crow-Armstrong was a key figure in the victory. His outstanding performance included a spectacular catch in center field and a timely hit that drove the Cubs to victory. Jameson Taillon, from the mound, delivered a solid performance, while the team’s defense remained firm in every play, securing the Cubs’ first postseason series win since 2017. The home celebration, something that hadn’t happened since the National League pennant in 2016, added a special touch to the victory.
The Cubs will face the Brewers, champions of the National League Central Division, in the next round. Despite the geographical proximity between Wrigley Field and American Family Field, this will be the first time both teams face each other in a playoff series, which promises an exciting divisional matchup.
