Daily News | Bryce Harper’s single helps Phillies top Cubs, 3-1, to sweep series
There have been times over the last month when thewould have preferred for Bryce Harper to hit the ball over the fence. And surely they will depend on it in the second half of the season.
It held up as the decisive blow in a 3-1 victory over the Cubs and gave the Phillies their first sweep at Wrigley Field since July 24-26, 2015, a series highlighted by Cole Hamels’ no-hitter. It also marked the Phillies’ ninth straight road victory, their longest streak since May 1984.Never mind, then, that Harper’s homerless spell reached 28 games and 126 plate appearances. Let that be a story for another day.
Schwarber’s miscue, in particular, could have proven costly. It put Mike Tauchman on second base to open the inning before Walker gave up a single. But Walker retired Christopher Morel on a sacrifice bunt and Ian Happ on a lineout, then froze Dansby Swanson with a high-and-tight splitter.
