Final Score: Phillies 9, Cubs 6
Trea Turner, Nick Castellanos and Kody Clemens each homered, while Brandon Marsh and Bryson Stott had big hits of their own as the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Chicago Cubs Wednesday.
The 94th win of the season for the Phillies not only earned them a series victory, but when coupled with a Milwaukee Brewers loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates, secured a first-round bye in the NL playoffs.
For Cristopher Sánchez, it was an underwhelming final performance in what’s otherwise been a tremendous regular season. He lasted 4 2/3 innings, giving up five hits and four runs, three of which were earned.
