All the small shortcomings that added up during a losing streak that approached the Chicago Cubs’ longest in nearly a decade were conquered Wednesday night at Wrigley Field.
The Cubs had everything go their way in Wednesday’s 8-3 win against the Philadelphia Phillies that ended their skid at 11 games. Seven players tallied at least one RBI, and the lineup finished 6-for-9 with runners in scoring position.
And when the Phillies put up three runs in the sixth to cut the Cubs’ lead to 5-3, the offense immediately responded with its own three-run inning in the bottom half.
