Mike Tauchman anchored Chicago’s defense with two highlight catches in a 7-3 loss to San Diego, stoking late-life Sox vibes for fantasy managers chasing value in shallow rosters. Offensively, Colson Montgomery and Miguel Vargas kicked in early runs, Chase Meidroth and Kyle Teel added a 2-1 swing, and Lenyn Sosa thumped a scorching 108 mph liner to spark a late push, even as Yu Darvish and the Padres bullpen slammed the door.

Padres tallied on the strength of Fernando Tatís Jr.’s RBI and a Padres bullpen that quietly shut down Chicago after the early heat. A late trio of runs against Fraser Ellard and company sealed the outcome. Chicago sits at 58-97, five wins from avoiding 100 losses, with one final home game against San Diego looming as the season wraps.
