Sometimes he eats you: Cubs 8, Phillies 4

The Philadelphia Phillies (38-29) couldn’t keep the bats of the Chicago Cubs (41-26) in check as they dropped the middle game of their series by a score of 8-4 on Tuesday night.

Mick Abel actually out-duelled his counterpart, Colin Rea, aside from three pitches to Dansby Swanson, Ian Happ and Michael Busch that landed over the fence.
