Bottom of the 3rd

Due for Chicago: Baez, Schwarber, Bryant.

Javier Baez leads off, jumps on the first pitch, drives it well out of the park.

Current Score: Cubs 2 , Phillies 1

[julio]

Kyle Schwarber bats, taps it in front of the plate. Hellickson fields, throws, got him. One away.

[julio]

Kris Bryant grounds to Hernandez (on the left side, due to the shift), who throws and just got Bryant. The Cubs are appealing here.

Per Franzke/Andersen, Cesar "kind of circled around to the ball, then double-pumped a bit" - it wasn't the crispest play.

The call on the field is upheld; the Cubs have squandered their challenge. (1:10 review, per Franzke). Two away.

[julio]

Anthony Rizzo works a two-out walk. He's at first base.

[julio]

Ben Zobrist walks. First and second, two out.

[julio]

Addison Russell bats.

A balk is called on Hellickson! Runners advance to 2nd and 3rd. Mackanin is out, to try to find out what caused the call. Per LA, the call was just wrong. Apparently Hellickson didn't pause long enough in his stretch.

Russell lines to center field. Herrera comes in hard, makes the catch to retire the side.

Through three:

Top of the 4th

Due for the Phils: Franco, Saunders, Joseph.

Maikel Franco leads off, grounds to Rizzo at first, flips to Lester covering. One down.

[julio]

Michael Saunders grounds it up the middle. Baez dives, can't make a clean play. Base hit for Saunders!

[julio]

Tommy Joseph lines a double down the right field line! Saunders scores! Joseph at second with one out.

Current Score: Phillies 2 , Cubs 2

[julio]

Freddy Galvis grounds a slow roller to Bryant at third, who fires to first - got him. Two away. Joseph did not advance on the play.

[julio]

Cameron Rupp bats. On the first pitch, which was way outside, Contreras threw through, and Joseph is called out. The Phillies are challenging the call.

The call is overturned; Joseph is safe. Rupp's plate appearance continues.

Rupp is intentionally walked. First and second, two away.
