The San Diego Padres have their backs against the wall during the Wednesday MLB schedule, as the Chicago Cubs can close out the best-of-three National League wild-card series. Padres outfielder Jackson Merrill scored the team's lone run in a 3-1 loss on Tuesday, getting driven in by Xander Bogaerts after doubling to lead off the second inning.
