Final Score: Cubs 10, Phillies 4
Taijuan Walker has worked very hard to improve his results, and has always been accountable postgame when he struggles. But far too many times this season, some sort of momentum for the Philadelphia Phillies has been completely halted by Walker taking the mound. Tuesday was the latest example of that.
A night after the Phillies clinched their first NL East title in 13 years, Bryce Harper hit his 30th home run of the season in the bottom of the first inning, and it looked like there would be a chance to secure a series victory over the Chicago Cubs.
