Cubs starter Marcus Stroman (3-4) allowed one
run and three hits over six innings. He struck out four and
walked two.

The Phillies have lost five straight and seven in a row against
Chicago.
The Cubs gave up a first-inning run for the sixth straight game,
although this time it did not matter.
Bryson Stott led off with a single up the middle, Bryce Harper
hit a grounder to the opposite side that went off the glove of
Madrigal and into shallow left for a double, putting runners on
second and third with one out. Nick Castellanos followed with a
sacrifice fly to right field for a 1-0 lead.
The Cubs loaded the bases with no outs in the second before
Madrigal grounded a single up the middle just out of the reach
of diving shortstop Trea Turner, scoring two runs for a 2-1
lead.
Hoerner, who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on
Friday (hamstring), pulled a curveball into the left-field
corner for a two-run double and a 4-1 lead.
Yan Gomes drove in a run with a sacrifice fly in the fifth to
make it 5-1.
Morel followed with a high chopper to Turner with two outs, but
he was unable to field the ball with a backhand, allowing
another run to score on the error for a 6-1 lead. After Madrigal
walked, Hoerner followed with a line drive over the head of
Castellanos in right, scoring two more runs for an 8-1 lead.
Morel clubbed his two-run homer in the ninth to extend the lead
to 10-1.
