PHILADELPHIA — The quickest way to score is to leave the yard, and Philadelphia saw it firsthand on Tuesday night.
After the Phillies came away with an 11-inning walk-off victory in the opener of a three-game set with Chicago on Monday, the Cubs responded with four home runs in an 8-4 win to even the series. Leadoff batter Ian Happ led the way with two homers and three runs scored.
Rookie Mick Abel gave up some damage for the first time in his career on the mound for the Phillies, allowing three solo home runs in four innings.
