SAN DIEGO \u2013 After pulling a fastball inside to Ram\u00f3n Laureano in the first inning on Monday night, Cubs lefty Matthew Boyd<\/a> walked off the mound and tapped the top of his head. The veteran pitcher immediately knew it was a mistake.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Boyd mouthed, \u201cMy bad,\u201d and patted his chest as an apology to catcher Mois\u00e9s Ballesteros<\/a> as the pitch was confirmed as a ball. It was a small moment that could have been insignificant, but it wound up playing a role in the Cubs\u2019 9-7 loss to the Padres<\/a> in the opener of a three-game set at Petco Park.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cInstantaneously, I saw it and as it sunk in, I regretted it,\u201d Boyd said. \u201cI told myself I wasn\u2019t going to challenge this year at all. That\u2019s a non-leverage situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The majestic grand slam that Ballesteros launched off Randy V\u00e1squez in the third inning \u2013 one complete with an emphatic bat flip \u2013 could have been the story. It was the rookie\u2019s first career slam and it came in his first start behind the plate this year, continuing his torrid start to this season (.387 average and 1.145 OPS in 25 games) and giving the North Siders a 5-3 lead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cWe just didn\u2019t pitch well enough tonight,\u201d Cubs manager Craig Counsell said. \u201cWe just didn\u2019t get enough done.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The first domino was the errant first-inning challenge by Boyd. The pitch in question was a 2-1 heater that was shown to be 0.7 inches off the edge of the zone, per the Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) Challenge System. Boyd then missed with another fastball to issue a leadoff walk to Laureano.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Boyd said it was not a case of trying to ask Ballesteros if they should challenge the pitch. The veteran pitcher was just caught up in the moment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cYou never know how it\u2019s going to shake out,\u201d Boyd said. \u201cBut it\u2019s putting our hitters and our team in a hole when you do something like that in that situation, so early in the game. It was not a smart move on my part. I regretted it. I\u2019ll do my best to not make that mistake again.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Ballesteros was surprised, too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cYeah, that guy, he never challenges,\u201d said the catcher. \u201cHe knows the zone. He knows what pitch is a strike and what pitch is not a strike. But probably [with] the emotion in that situation, he called a challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Boyd added that part of his regret was that he has such trust in Ballesteros \u2013 well-versed in the ABS from his time at Triple-A Iowa \u2013 to pick the right pitches and moments to use the allotted challenges.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cBally really knows the zone,\u201d Boyd said. \u201cIt\u2019s another reason why I was like, \u2018Damn, I wish I didn\u2019t do that,\u2019 because if it\u2019s close, he would know, too. Bally\u2019s awesome, man. He\u2019s doing great back there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Two batters later, Boyd surrendered a run-scoring single to Jackson Merrill. The lefty later walked Miguel Andujar before giving up a two-run double to Ty France that capped off a three-run push for the Padres in that opening frame. It was similar to Sunday, when two uncharacteristic walks by Shota Imanaga<\/a> in the first led to a three-run rally by the Dodgers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cThe two walks just hurt. It\u2019s something we can\u2019t do,\u201d Counsell said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Boyd\u2019s mistake factored into things, because Ballesteros also later missed on a challenge (an 0-1 ball ruling against Andujar in the third), which left the Cubs with zero remaining. That eventually impacted Cubs righty Ben Brown.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

After Boyd yielded a leadoff double to Manny Machado in the fifth, Brown took over and recorded two quick outs. He then had France in a 2-2 count before firing a sinker that started outside, then veered sharply over the outside corner. It had the makings of an inning-ending strikeout, but was deemed a ball.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Brown put his hands over his head in frustration, the count ran full and his next sinker missed low for a walk. Nick Castellanos followed with a two-run single that put the Cubs in a 6-5 hole and sent them on their way to the loss column.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cThat first inning was the difference-maker,\u201d Boyd said. \u201cA few misses. A few walks. And that led to three runs. Hits are going to happen, but I was missing with the fastball earlier on in that first inning. It\u2019s a big difference in the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
