CHICAGO \u2014 Dansby Swanson hit three home runs, including a grand slam, Michael Conforto homered twice and the Chicago Cubs pounded the San Diego Padres 23-3 on Wednesday.<\/p>

Swanson had a career-high eight RBIs – second-most in major league history from a player batting ninth. Seiya Suzuki, Pete Crow-Armstrong and Michael Busch also homered for the Cubs, who scored their most runs in a home game since 1977.<\/p>\n

Swanson, who hit two home runs Tuesday, became the first Cub with back-to-back multihomer games since Patrick Wisdom in August 2021. He has nine home runs and 29 RBIs over the past 13 games.<\/p>\n

A day after the Padres and Cubs combined for nine homers in a 9-7 Cubs win Tuesday, they combined for nine more with the wind howling to center again as Sung-Min Song hit the first of his career for the Padres. The Cubs are 14-5 with the wind blowing out at Wrigley Field this season.<\/p>\n

The Cubs (49-38) have won five straight after sweeping the Padres (43-42), who have lost five in a row.<\/p>\n

Suzuki\u2019s three-run homer in the first made him the fourth Japanese-born player in major league history with 100 in his career, joining Shohei Ohtani (290), Hideki Matsui (175) and Ichiro Suzuki (117).<\/p>

Cubs starter Colin Rea (6-5) allowed two runs on six hits while working out of two bases-loaded jams in five innings. Jordan Wicks pitched three innings for his second save.<\/p>\n

Padres starter Walker Buehler (5-4) allowed nine runs in four innings.<\/p>\n

Padres right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. went 0 for 4, ending a 23-game on-base streak.<\/p>\n

Padres catcher Rodolfo Duran pitched the final two innings, making his second appearance on the mound this season and allowing eight runs on 31 pitches.<\/p>\n

San Diego has not named a starter for Thursday\u2019s game at the Dodgers and RHP Roki Sasaki (3-5, 4.88 ERA). The Cubs are off Thursday and have not announced pitchers for a home series against St. Louis beginning Friday. RHP Andre Pallante (9-5, 3.83) starts Friday for the Cardinals.<\/p>
