Gavin Sheets hit a solo homer in the eighth inning to make it 9-5. Mason Miller gave up two runs in the ninth, ending his scoreless streak at 34 2/3 innings dating to last season — a San Diego record.
Nick Castellanos singled home two runs off reliever Ben Brown with two outs in the fifth to give the Padres a 6-5 lead.
Moisés Ballesteros hit his first career grand slam, a 404-foot drive to right field off San Diego starter Randy Vásquez that gave Chicago a 5-3 lead in the third.
Seiya Suzuki had a solo homer in the second for the Cubs (17-12), who have lost three in a row following a 10-game winning streak.
Machado had a single and two doubles, giving him 400 doubles in his career. He exited as a precaution in the seventh with a sore calf after a hard slide earlier in the game, but is expected to be available Tuesday.
France hit a ground-rule double to left-center in the first to score two runs for a 3-0 lead. He tripled down the left-field line in the seventh to drive in two more and make it 8-5.
Vásquez (3-0) gave up five runs and five hits in five innings to earn the win.
Brown (1-1) pitched two innings in relief and took the loss. Cubs starter Matthew Boyd allowed four runs and eight hits in four-plus innings.
Cubs RHP Edward Cabrera (2-0, 2.73 ERA) faces RHP Walker Buehler (1-2, 5.75) in the middle game of the series Tuesday.

BEKASI, Indonesia (AP) — Rescuers finished removing victims from a damaged commuter train car Tuesday, confirming that the crash outside Indonesia’s capital killed 14 people, all of whom were women.
The crash occurred Monday when a long-distance train crashed into the rear car of the stopped commuter train at Bekasi Timur Station outside Jakarta. The car was one designated for women only, a common accommodation to stop harassment.
A total of 84 injured people were taken to hospitals for treatment, said Bobby Rasyidin, CEO of state-owned railway company PT Kereta Api Indonesia. The bodies of the dead were taken to a hospital for further identification.
Rescue teams completed the evacuation of all victims from inside the wreckage about midmorning. "There are no further casualties,” said Mohammad Syafii, the head of the National Search and Rescue Agency.
All 240 passengers on the Argo Bromo Anggrek long-distance train were safe, officials said.
Police were investigating the cause of the accident, Jakarta Police Chief Asep Edi Suheri told reporters at the scene.
The Indonesian Ministry of Transportation said in a written statement that authorities believe the incident began when another commuter train hit a stalled taxi near Bekasi Timur Station.
That led staff to stop a second commuter train at the station, where it was struck by a long-distance commuter train.
“As for the chronology of events, we are leaving it to the National Transportation Safety Committee to investigate the cause of tonight’s train accident in greater detail,” Rasyidin said.
Accidents are common on Indonesia’s aging railroad network. In January 2024, two trains collided in West Java province, killing at least four people.
