In a much-needed performance, the Phillies defeated the Cubs 7-2, marking their first series win in 13 days. Jesús Luzardo bounced back from recent struggles, pitching six innings with one run allowed and ten strikeouts, highlighting a potential turning point in his season. The offense was also productive, with multi-hit games from Trea Turner and Alec Bohm, who contributed four RBIs, while the team managed a roster change by recalling pitcher Michael Mercado from AAA to bolster their pitching staff.
