Cubs Win at Philadelphia, 5-3
The Chicago Cubs overcame a pretty good performance by Philadelphia left fielder Bryce Harper, beating the Phillies, 5-3, at Citizens Bank Park. Harper went 2-3 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. The Cubs, at 18-16, lead by one game in their division.

Chicago used the timely hitting of Nick Madrigal to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Cubs on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"We just try to have good at-bats, whether we're winning, losing, or tied," said Madrigal.
