Cubs 6, Phillies 2: A pitchers’ duel, then an extra-inning explosion

Who are these guys?

For the third straight game, including the win over the Mets just before the All-Star break, the Cubs got solid pitching and timely hitting. This is the team I thought they could be, though who knows how long this will last, especially with the trade deadline looming a week from Tuesday.

The Cubs exploded for five runs in the 10th inning Saturday and won their third straight, 6-2 over the Phillies.
