Carson Kelly, Colin Rea Help Lead Chicago Cubs to Comeback Win over Philadelphia Phillies
Carson Kelly hit a three-run homer and Colin Rea allowed one run over six innings as Chicago erased a 3-0 deficit.
On Tuesday night in Philadelphia, the Chicago Cubs rallied to defeat the Philadelphia Phillies 10-4, powered by Carson Kelly's three-run homer and Colin Rea's six strong innings.
Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Edmundo Sosa gave his team a 3-0 lead with a three-run homer in the early innings. Rea then settled in, retiring 16 of the next 17 batters to stabilize the game.
Chicago broke a 3-all tie with four runs in the sixth inning off reliever Tim Mayza; a fielding error by Bryson Stott loaded the bases, allowing Nico Hoerner and Alex Bregman to drive in runs with singles.
Late-Game action included Kelly's home run extending the Cubs' advantage, while Kyle Schwarber extended his on-base streak to 15 games. Caleb Thielbar struck out Alec Bohm to end an eighth-inning threat.
The three-game series concludes Wednesday night with a rubber match between Cubs LHP Shota Imanaga and Phillies LHP Jesús Luzardo, who carries a 6.23 ERA into the contest.
