Philadelphia tagged Chicago starter Drew Smyly
(7-5) for seven runs and nine hits through just 3 2/3 innings.
Jared Young hit his first career homer in his 2023 debut and
Dansby Swanson also went deep for the Cubs, who have allowed 20
runs during a three-game skid that has followed an 11-2 stretch.
The long ball headlined Philadelphia's breakout second. Alec
Bohm singled and eventually came home when Sosa went deep into
the left field bleachers. Following singles by Cristian Pache
and Trea Turner, Castellanos smacked a two-out breaking ball
from Smyly that just made it into the left field basket.
Chicago got on the board in the third via Young's milestone
homer into the right field bleachers. It came in his seventh
major league contest.
However, Castellanos blooped a two-out RBI double to left center
in the fourth to make it a 6-1 contest. He then scored on Bryce
Harper's ground-ball single into center field, which chased
Smyly, who has allowed 17 runs in his last three home starts.
Castellanos, who spent part of the 2019 season with the Cubs,
entered the night hitting .373 at Wrigley Field, where he has
homered 13 times in 45 games.
After Swanson's solo homer in the fourth, Harrison's second home
run of the season came in the fifth, off Hayden Wesneski, to
make it 8-2. Chicago got two runs in its half of the fifth when
Christopher Morel drew a bases-loaded walk and Ian Happ drove in
a run with a groundout.
Chicago's Miguel Amaya scored on a passed ball in the ninth.
