Matthew Boyd Surrenders Three Home Runs in Cubs' Postseason Opening Loss

Chicago Cubs left-hander Matthew Boyd endured a rough outing in Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series, surrendering three home runs in an 8-0 blowout loss to the San Diego Padres. Breaking his streak of never allowing a postseason home run, Boyd yielded early long balls to Fernando Tatis Jr. and Manny Machado, snapping a strong playoff resume and handing the Cubs a difficult start in the best-of-three series.
