Overview

  • Philadelphia ended a five-game losing streak with a 4-3 victory over Chicago in 11 innings.
  • Zack Wheeler struck out seven over six one-run innings in his first start since a brief paternity leave.
  • Matthew Boyd matched Wheeler’s performance by allowing two runs and fanning eight across six innings.
  • Back-to-back bunt singles from Bryson Stott and rookie Otto Kemp loaded the bases before Brandon Marsh delivered the walk-off single.
  • The Cubs managed just five hits, including solo homers from Kyle Tucker and Ian Happ, and suffered back-to-back losses for the first time in a month following manager Craig Counsell’s ejection over a disputed interference call.
