The Phillies raced out to a quick 2-0 lead when Joe Lefebvre launched a two-run dong in the bottom of the first off starter Dick Ruthven. Keith Moreland responded in the top of the second with a solo tater to cut the lead in half.
It would remain 2-1 until the top of the seventh. Charles Hudson was on cruise control but seemingly hit a pot hole because the wheels came off. Pinch hitter Henry Cotto hit a two-run single and then scored on a Ryne Sandberg triple. The Cubs would score five total runs in the inning and would add three more over the next two innings to give Chicago their fifth win in a row.
