Philadelphia, PA - For the majority of Saturday evening's matchup against the Chicago Cubs (82-59), the Philadelphia Phillies' (55-88) bats were silenced.

The Phillies trailed 1-0 entering the seventh inning, with the only run of the night coming off the bat of left fielder Kyle Schwarber.

A two-out fielding error by first baseman Anthony Rizzo, however, extended the inning for the Phillies' offense and ultimately was their downfall in the third meeting of the four-game weekend set at Citizens Bank Park.
