Padres Lose, Tatis Homerless; Knorr Steps Up

0:00It's April 29th. This is MLB News Today, powered by AI, you're around the diamond update. I'm Corey, with the story. The San Diego Padres dropped an 8-3 decision to the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday night, slipping to 19 wins and 10 losses on the season. Manny Machado sat out to rest his leg, and Jake Croninworth made his first career start at third base. The Friars showed some fight-on-office, with Zander Bogeyerts crushing a solo homer in the second to cut an early deficit. Kai France tied it up with an RBI single in the fourth, and Luis Camposano kept his hot streak alive with another RBI to pull within one. Manager Craig Stamman had to step away mid-game for a family funeral, so Benchcoach Randy Nore took over duties and handled the post-game presser. He'll serve as acting manager again on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Fernando Tatsi's junior is still chasing his first homer of the year through 29 games and 127 plate. Appearances, closing in on his personal drought record.
