Wrigley Field - Chicago, IL
8-17, 5th Place, 9 1/2 games behind the Braves
8-17, 5th Place, 9 1/2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies just fell short of stopping their losing streak, falling in extra innings to the Cubs, 8-7.
What It Means: After losing nine in a row, the Phillies own sole possession of last place. Hard to believe, Harry.
What Happened: The Phillies countered the Cubs' 18-hit barrage with just eight hits, but it was encouraging to see them battle back with five late inning runs. Cristopher Sanchez labored through 5 1/3 innings of work, allowing six runs on 12 hits, including a pair of home runs. (Maybe he was tipping his pitches?)

Brandon Marsh was 3 for 4 with two home runs, including a solo shot in the second to give the Phillies a 1-0 lead, and another solo home run in the seventh to make it 6-3 Cubs. The Phillies made it a 6-6 game in the eighth on an Edmundo Sosa RBI-single to center, scoring pinch-runner Dylan Moore. Brad Keller gave up a home run to Seiya Suzuki in the bottom of the eighth, giving the Cubs a 7-6 lead. Adolis Garcia connected for a dramatic pinch-hit home run in the top of the ninth, once again knotting the score.
The Phillies couldn't push across a run in their half of the tenth, and the Cubs made quick work of Tanner Banks in the bottom of the tenth, with Dansby Swanson singling home the winning run.
Featured Card: Let's dwell on the Taijuan Walker release a little more. I found this tidbit fascinating, and troubling at the same time: Walker leaves the club with the fourth highest ERA in team history (5.12), with a minimum of 70 starts, behind Les Sweetland (6.33), Claude Willoughby (5.83) and Nick Pivetta (5.50). I have a Sweetland card in my collection - this 1929-30 Exhibits Four-in-One card.

Transaction: Walker (rhp) was released. Nolan Hoffman (rhp) was recalled from Lehigh Valley and Alan Rangel (rhp) was optioned back down.
