                        How the Cubs' newly lights-out bullpen carried Chicago to a Game 1 Wild Card Series win over the Padres

The Chicago Cubs' bullpen played a crucial role in their 1-0 victory over the San Diego Padres in the opening game of the Wild Card Series. The Cubs' relievers were dominant, retiring all 14 batters they faced, which was a major factor in the team's narrow win. The game was a close and hard-fought contest, with the Cubs' pitching staff keeping the Padres' offense in check throughout the game. The Cubs' offense, led by key contributions from their lineup, managed to score the only run of the game, which proved to be enough to secure the victory. The win puts the Cubs in a strong position heading into the next game of the series, as they look to build on this impressive performance from their bullpen and continue their postseason run.
