Sharp Pen
This is why Bochy is the manager and I'm not. The Padre bullpen gets four strikeouts over the last three inning to perserve the 1-0 win for Adam Eaton.
And they needed to be that good, as the Cubs bullpen was perfect, retiring all nine batters their relievers faced, striking out 3. Nomar was 1 for 3 today but only has 5 hits (all singles) in the first seven games.

The Padres have been using the 3-headed sequential closer since last year with great effect. Given their paucity of runs this year, the pinching was a great move.
By paucity, I was referring to the 3, 1, 2, 11, and 1 runs they've scored in non-Coors games. They seem to be very bimodal when it comes to scoring -- no games between 4 and 9.
