<p>Injuries, injuries, injuries.</p><p>They seem to dominate the conversation around the <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/cubs" target="_blank" >Cubs</a> these days, and for good reason. Although they’re a part of any baseball season, the Cubs have been particularly bombarded with them, especially on the pitching side, with an entire rotation and late-inning mix of relievers all on the injured list simultaneously.</p><p>But coming just as rapidly as the injuries? More and more Cubs wins.</p><p>The latest was a 3-2 walk-off victory Monday night — the Cubs’ 10th walk-off of the season — to start a three-game series with the Padres at Wrigley Field.</p><p>Although they’ve put six players on the IL in the last six days and are staring at some long layoffs for key contributors, they also have won 13 of their last 17 games.</p><p>A day after finishing a 6-1 road trip, which included taking two of three from the division-leading Brewers, the Cubs bested Mason Miller, the Padres’ flame-throwing closer and one of the best ninth-inning men around.</p><p>After back-to-back base hits in the bottom of the ninth off Miller’s bullpen-mate Jason Adam, who had a 2.30 ERA coming in, the Cubs got two singles in three batters against Miller, who had only given up 14 hits all season.
