One Sentence Summary: The Phillies completed the sweep of the Cubs in this low-scoring game, winning 3-1 behind another solid start from Taijuan Walker.

What Happened: Walker picked up his ninth win, allowing a run on six hits in his six innings of work. The bullpen trio of Yunior Marte, Gregory Soto and Craig Kimbrel shut down the Cubs over the final three innings with Kimbrel earning his 12th save. Kyle Schwarber hit a lead-off home run in the first, launching the first pitch of the game into the Wrigley Field right field bleachers. Bryce Harper added two runs with a two-run single in the third.
