Ian Happ powered the Chicago Cubs to an 8-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies, hitting two of the Cubs' four home runs and achieving his first multi-homer game of the season. Dansby Swanson and Michael Busch also homered for Chicago, while Phillies rookie starter Mick Abel took his first major league loss.
