The Phillies rebounded from a 1-5 road trip (and losers of nine of 10 games overall) to take two of three at home from the Cubs. Offense that's been punchless this month perked up against the Cubs with five extra-base hits.

Max Lazar worked two innings of relief and Michael Mercado tossed a scoreless ninth for the Phillies.

The Phillies scored three runs in the first off Cubs starter Ken Brown (3-5) and Schwarber hit his 21st homer of the season in the third. Bohm added a two-RBI single in the fourth and a solo shot in the eighth for a 7-1 lead.
