The Cubs won Game 1 of the series 4-0 against the Phillies, who lost their fifth straight. The Phillies' batting was generally good and on the rise, but that ended abruptly in the series at Citi Field against the Mets, where they had a truly miserable time. They had one day to travel from New York to Chicago to face an even hotter team, the Cubs, with Colin Rea starting well and a bullpen that kept a scoreless streak for four more innings and struck out five in a performance somewhat atypical of a bullpen.
Ian Happ and Crow Armstrong reappeared and are staying hot, with Happ hitting his seventh double of the season and Crow-Armstrong approaching an AVG of .300. And to maintain their good form, the Cubs scored at least four runs, giving them 167 runs, leading the MLB in runs and a significant margin ahead of the Yankees, who are second with 139.
The Phillies will look for a comeback, and Luzardo may be able to prevent the team from going into a losing record on Saturday in Game 2. Luzardo will start Game 2, having had a good season with a 2-0 record and a 2.08 ERA.
