CHICAGO, April 20 (UPI) -- Ryan Ludwick, Cameron Maybin and Chris Denorfia hit home runs Wednesday in lifting San Diego to a doubleheader split with a 5-4 win over the Chicago Cubs.
Chicago won the opening game 2-1 in 11 innings. The teams played twice after inclement weather had postponed their scheduled contest Tuesday.
Ludwick hit a two-run homer in the second, Maybin had a solo homer in the fourth and Denorfia added a solo shot in the fifth to give the Padres a 4-0 lead.
All the home runs came off Cubs' starter James Russell (1-2), who allowed seven hits without a strikeout over four innings to take the loss.
The game-winning run came on a sacrifice fly by Alberto Gonzalez that gave the Padres a 5-2 lead in the sixth. Alfonso Soriano delivered a two-run homer for the Cubs in the eighth but Heath Bell worked around a single in the ninth to pick up his fifth save.
San Diego's Aaron Harang (4-0) stayed unbeaten despite giving up nine hits in six innings. He allowed only two runs with five strikeouts.
The Cubs won twice in the three-game series.
