The Phillies helped Worley with nifty defense by shortstop Rollins and third baseman Polanco on consecutive plays in the third.
Worley pitched out of trouble in the fourth and fifth, leaving runners at second and third in both innings.
Another defensive gem by Polanco helped prevent a big inning in the seventh. The Cubs loaded the bases with no outs. Geovany Soto then hit a hard grounder down the line, but Polanco made a backhanded grab on an in-between hop, stepped on third and threw to first to complete the double play. A run scored to cut the deficit to 4-1.
