PHILADELPHIA (AP) --- Carson Kelly hit a three-run homer, Colin Rea pitched six
strong innings and the Chicago Cubs rallied to beat the Philadelphia Phillies
10-4 on Tuesday night.
Nico Hoerner and Alex Bregman each had three RBIs for the Cubs.
Edmundo Sosa homered for the Phillies.
Chicago broke a 3-all tie with four runs in the sixth inning off Tim Mayza
(0-1). Hoerner and Bregman each had two-run singles in the inning and the Cubs
were aided by a Phillies miscue.
After Mayza put runners on first and second with one out with a walk and hit
batter, Dansby Swanson hit a hard grounder back to the pitcher that was a
potential double play. Mayza threw slightly off target to second base, and
Bryson Stott could not make the catch. Stott was charged with a fielding error
on the play. Instead of runners on first and second with two outs, or an
inning-ending double play, Chicago had the bases loaded with one out.
Hoerner made Philadelphia pay with a liner to center. After Brad Keller
replaced Mayza, Bregman knocked in two more runs.
Rea (2-0) followed opener Riley Martin, who worked a 1-2-3 first. He
surrendered Sosa's three-run homer to left-center that gave the Phillies a 3-0
lead before retiring 16 of the next 17 batters, including 10 in a row to close
his outing. Rea struck out five and walked none.
Philadelphia got a run back in the eighth and threatened for more with the
bases loaded and two outs, but Caleb Thielbar struck out pinch-hitter Alec Bohm
to end the inning. Kyle Schwarber extended his on-base streak to 15 games with
a one-out single in the inning.
Kelly made it a six-run advantage with his first homer of the season in the
ninth off Tanner Banks.
Phillies starter Aaron Nola lasted five innings, allowing three runs on eight
hits.
