Marcus Stroman pitched six strong innings to win his fourth consecutive start and rookie Miguel Amaya went 3 for 3 with his first major league home run as the Chicago Cubs defeated the San Diego Padres 7-1 on Sunday.
"Stro kind of battled his way through some mechanical stuff and found a way to get through six and did a really nice job, no earned runs. The bullpen shut them down," Cubs manager David Ross said.
Julian Merryweather, Michael Fulmer and Brandon Hughes each tossed a scoreless inning to finish the five-hitter. Weathers faced only 12 batters and gave up five runs on seven hits - four for extra bases. He walked one and was lifted with two outs in the second.
