In Sacramento, the Cubs' bats continued to be hot to start 2025, especially Seiya Susuki, who hit three home runs on April 1 and 2 before the team's debut at Wrigley Field against the undefeated Padres. All in all, since the Tokyo Series, arriving in Chicago with a 5-4 record, including nine road games against the Dodgers and D-backs, is a good record.
The Cubs are third in the MLB in home runs with 14 and seventh in team OBP with 368. However, the team appears to be burdened with the same bullpen issues that marred their 2024 season now in 2025.
Meanwhile, the Padres, unlike the Cubs, will be heading to Petco Park for the first time this season, undefeated and with a lineup whose nearly all members have responded well to start the year. Merill recently finalized his contract extension with the Padres, who secured him a nine-year contract as one of the faces of the franchise. Merill already responded with a .417 AVG to start the season and hit a home run in the final game against the Guardians.
