The Phillies have now lost all five games they’ve played against the Cubs this season, falling 4-2 Wednesday night. If the Brewers hold their lead over the Cardinals, the Phillies’ lead in the NL wild card standings will dwindle to just half a game.
CHICAGO — In the top of the third inning on Wednesday night, Kyle Schwarber took off from second base to third base, setting himself up to score on a sacrifice fly. He jokingly tipped his cap to the dugout, and touched home plate when Bryce Harper popped up to left field, to give his team an early 1-0 lead.
The Phillies have now lost all five games they’ve played against the Cubs this season. They’ve lost their last four games, and nine of their last 12, and if the Brewers hold their lead over the Cardinals, the Phillies’ lead in the NL wild card standings will dwindle to just a half a game.Initially, it looked like Aaron Nola, who entered the game with a 2.08 ERA, was headed towards another good September start.
Nola bounced back in the sixth inning after striking out two hitters and inducing a groundout, but the damage had been done. He slammed his glove down in frustration when he reached the dugout. In the top of the seventh, Schwarber hit a double and Rhys Hoskins hit a single to put runners on first and third. Harper drove Schwarber home with a groundout to cut the Phillies deficit from 4-1 to 4-2, but J.T. Realmuto lined out and Bohm struck out after that.
