The Phillies have dropped six in a row and seven of eight. They have been outscored 42-10 during their losing streak.
Rea (3-0) permitted one run and six hits in 6 2/3 innings, aided by a stellar defensive performance from his Cubs teammates.

Gold Glove second baseman Nico Hoerner made diving stops on hard grounders by Bryce Harper in the first and Schwarber in the seventh.

Following a walk to Pete Crow-Armstrong, Swanson drove a 3-1 sinker to center for a 4-0 lead. The projected distance on Swanson's fifth homer of the season was 424 feet.
The Phillies scored their only run on Justin Crawford's RBI double in the fourth. Crawford was stranded when Rafael Marchán bounced to first for the final out of the inning.
