Hey hey! The Cubs beat the Phils 10-4 on Tuesday night behind six innings from Colin Rea (3 ER, 5 K) and three RBI each from Nico Hoerner, Alex Bregman, and Carson Kelly!
The Cubs went with an opener, Riley Martin, who tossed a 1-2-3 1st before Rea came in for what would have been a quality start had he not started pitching in the 2nd. He settled in nicely after giving up a three-run homer in his first frame.
The North Siders responded with two runs in the 3rd, tied the game 3-3 in the 5th, and put up a four-spot in the 6th to make it a 7-3 ballgame. Philadelphia scored one before leaving the bases loaded in the 8th, and Carson Kelly's three-run homer in the 9th put the game out of reach.
The series wraps up Wednesday in Philly. The Men in Blue get an off day Thursday before kicking off a seven-game homestand on Friday against the Mets.
17 games down, 145 to go.
GO CUBS GO!
