Christopher Morel hit his first career grand slam and Yan Gomes also connected for the Chicago Cubs, who beat Joe Musgrove and the San Diego Padres 5-1 on Tuesday night.

Unlike Monday, the Cubs held on. They blew an 8-0 lead in a 9-8 loss in the opener of their three-game set at San Diego.

Right-hander Ben Brown pitched well in his first big league start but not long enough to get the win. He was pulled after 4 2/3 scoreless innings and 77 pitches, with the bases empty. He allowed three hits while striking out five and walking one.

Center fielder Cody Bellinger helped Brown settle in by catching Fernando Tatis Jr.'s fly ball and then throwing out Xander Bogaerts trying to advance from second after his leadoff double.

Cubs RHP Kyle Hendricks (0-1, 11.74 ERA) is scheduled to start Wednesday's series finale against Padres RHP Dylan Cease (0-1, 3.38 ERA).
