**Cubs Rally, Defeat Phillies Behind Happ’s Two Home Runs**

PHILADELPHIA – Ian Happ blasted two home runs, including a go-ahead two-run shot in the sixth inning, to power the Chicago Cubs to an 8-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night. The Cubs offense, bolstered by solo homers from Dansby Swanson and Michael Busch, overcame a strong start from Phillies rookie Mick Abel, who surrendered the long ball despite striking out Kyle Tucker with the bases loaded in the fourth.

Max Kepler had given the Phillies an early lead with a two-run homer in the second, and Alec Bohm’s two-run single in the fifth momentarily put Philadelphia ahead 4-3. However, the Phillies’ bullpen faltered late in the game, continuing a recent trend.

Happ’s second homer, off Taijuan Walker, who was recently demoted to the bullpen, proved to be the decisive blow. Caleb Thielbar earned the win for the Cubs with a scoreless sixth inning. Chicago tacked on three insurance runs in the eighth, sealing the Phillies’ tenth loss in their last twelve games.

Adding to the Phillies’ woes, center fielder Brandon Marsh exited the game in the sixth inning with left elbow soreness. Marsh had been injured earlier after an elbow tag in the second inning.

The Cubs will look to continue their winning ways on Wednesday when RHP Ben Brown faces Phillies LHP Jesús Luzardo.
