CHICAGO (AP) — Alec Bohm hit a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning
and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Chicago Cubs 3-1 on Sunday night.
Trea Turner had three hits and two RBIs for Philadelphia, which took two
of three in the weekend series. Aaron Nola pitched seven innings of
three-hit ball after dropping his first five starts this season. |

The patient Phillies loaded the bases in the
10th on walks by J.T. Realmuto and Max Kepler against Julian
Merryweather (0-1). Bohm then drove in Nick Castellanos with a
flyball to the warning track in right.
A two-out walk by Bryson Stott loaded the bases again before
Kepler scored when the speedy Turner singled on a grounder to
third.
José Alvarado (3-0) got three outs for the win, and Jordan
Romano pitched the 10th for his second save.
The Cubs wasted a sharp performance by Jameson Taillon, who
pitched seven innings of five-hit ball. The right-hander has a
2.08 ERA over his last three starts — all no-decisions.
Chicago closer Ryan Pressly worked the ninth in his first
appearance since he had his right knee drained on Tuesday night.
With two down and a runner on first, Castellanos flied out to
the wall in left.
The Cubs jumped in front in the second. Nico Hoerner blooped a
two-out double into shallow right-center and scored on Pete
Crow-Armstrong's double off the wall in right-center.
The Phillies got their first run in the third. Stott tripled and
scored on Turner's single to left.
Key moment
The Cubs went down in order in the 10th. Michael Busch struck
out swinging, Dansby Swanson flied out and Hoerner bounced back
to Romano.
Key stat
Taillon picked up his 1,000th career strikeout when he fanned
Stott for the first out of the game.
Up next
Both teams are off Monday. The Phillies host the Washington
Nationals on Tuesday night, and the Cubs visit the Pittsburgh
Pirates.
