Chicago Cubs defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 10-4 in a game at Citizens Bank Park, largely due to Nico Hoerner's timely hit with the bases loaded in the sixth inning. The Cubs' four-run sixth inning, including Alex Bregman's two-run single, helped them secure a win. Despite their slow start to the season, they have been successful at putting pressure on opposing pitchers. Their 204 plate appearances with runners in scoring position this season are the second-most in the majors.

Manager Craig Counsell praised the team's ability to compete and make the most out of it, even when they're not feeling good.
