Ian Happ Leads Cubs to Victory over Phillies

In a standout performance, Ian Happ hit two three-run homers from both sides of the plate, driving in six runs to lead the Chicago Cubs to a 10-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, avoiding a series sweep. Happ went 4-for-4, including a single and a double, achieving his 14th career multi-homer game. Jameson Taillon pitched seven solid innings, allowing only two runs and striking out seven. Despite a strong start from Phillies' Cristopher Sánchez, who had been dominant in his previous outings, he was tagged for seven runs. The Cubs snapped a seven-game losing streak against the Phillies and have now won two of their last three games. The Phillies' offense was limited to solo contributions from Brandon Marsh and Nick Castellanos.
