One Sentence Summary: In Taijuan Walker's final appearance with the Phillies, the righty entered in the second inning and allowed five runs (four earned) in four innings of work.
What It Means: The Phillies dropped their eighth in a row.
What Happened: Kyle Backus served as an opener and allowed a first inning run to the Cubs before Walker entered and surrendered five more. The Phillies enjoyed a brief offensive outburst in the second inning, momentarily taking a 2-1 lead. Felix Reyes singled, went to second when Alec Bohm singled and came home on an Edmundo Sosa double. Bohm scored on a Justin Crawford ground-out. Alan Rangel soaked up the final three innings, allowing a run on three hits while striking out five.
Featured Card: Walker's tenure with the Phillies was marred by too many disastrous outings. He had a decent year last year, but his 9.13 ERA this season and inability to pitch a clean first inning, coupled with the looming return of Zack Wheeler, meant his time with the club had run out. In 89 games with the Phillies, the most games he's pitched with any of his five clubs, Walker was 24-25 with a 5.12 ERA. He would be officially released on Thursday afternoon.

Transaction: As the bad news continued to mount, J.T. Realmuto (c) was placed on the 10-day injured list with back spasms and Garrett Stubbs (c) had his contract selected. Max Lazar (rhp) was transferred to the 60-day injured list to make room for Stubbs on the 40-man roster.
