13-13, 2nd Place, 5 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: As the offense continued to look for timely hits, Colin Rea and four Cubs' relievers combined to shutout the Phillies in this 4-0 loss.
What It Means: The Phillies are a miserable lot right now, having lost four in a row and getting tagged with their third shutout already this season. Since taking two out of three from the powerhouse Dodgers at the start of the season, they are 6-11.
What Happened: The game was delayed over two hours at the outset due to rain and the gametime temperature was 45 degrees. Taijuan Walker threw 86 pitches in just three innings, allowing a pair of runs on six hits. Relievers Tanner Banks and Carlos Hernandez gave up two more runs. The Phillies showed some life in the seventh after J.T. Realmuto singled and Alec Bohm walked to start the inning. Cal Stevenson struck out, Bryson Stott popped out and Trea Turner grounded out in quick succession to end the threat.
Featured Card: Former Cub Kyle Schwarber is batting .111 (2 for 18) with eight strikeouts in his last five games. Stott, Turner, Bryce Harper and Schwarber were a combined 1 for 15 in this game.
