The Cubs came into the season expecting to contend for the NL Central championship. Instead, they're last in the division. But they gave the Wrigley Field crowd of 40,143 plenty to cheer on July Fourth. “We know how much this fan base expects and how much they deserve,” Happ said. “They come out every single day no matter what. They deserve a really good baseball team, and I think we all in this clubhouse believe that we have that in the tank. It’s been a tough stretch. But you have a game like today where you put up 10 and feel really good about it, let’s see if we can keep that rolling.” Chicago trailed 2-0 when Happ connected from the right side against starter Cristopher Sánchez during a five-run fourth inning. Happ struck again batting left-handed in the fifth against Seranthony Domínguez, making it 8-2 and giving him 14 career multi-homer games. It was the second time Happ went deep from both sides of the plate. He also singled and doubled to finish 4 for 4. Happ got off to a slow start this season. But over 35 games since May 26, he is second in the majors with 36 RBI. “You're going to have times when things don't feel right," he said. “When the wind's blowing in, you're hitting things straight into the wind or you're striking out. Part of that is believing that you're going to hit one of those hot streaks and get back on track. For me personally, that was early in the year. The first six weeks were a struggle and really difficult and challenging, and believing that I was going to get to that place where I right the ship.” Jameson Taillon (5-4) pitched seven innings, allowing two runs and four hits. The right-hander struck out seven and walked none. Seiya Suzuki scored three times and the Cubs came away with an easy win after dropping eight of 10. They also stopped a seven-game losing streak against the Phillies dating to last season. Philadelphia’s Brandon Marsh singled home a run in the first. Nick Castellanos made it 2-0 in the fourth with a rocket to left-center for his 12th home run, but Sánchez (6-4) simply didn’t have it coming off a shutout against Miami last week and his first career complete game. The left-hander got tagged for seven runs and seven hits after going 3-0 with a 0.39 ERA in his previous three starts. He exited with none out in the fifth after Cody Bellinger and Suzuki singled. Happ broke open the game when he greeted Domínguez with a drive to right for his 13th homer. He became the first Cubs player to connect from both sides since Victor Caratini in a loss at Pittsburgh on July 3, 2019. “Ian had some huge swings,” manager Craig Counsell said. “We got men on base in front of him for those swings. Two three-run homers puts a smile on everybody's face, for sure.” TRAINER'S ROOM Cubs: RHP Mark Leiter Jr. (strained forearm) will likely face hitters within the next few days, assuming no setbacks following his bullpen session on Wednesday, pitching coach Tommy Hottovy said. Hottovy had not spoken to Leiter. ... Hottovy said RHP Yency Almonte (strained right shoulder) will probably decide “in the next day or so” between surgery or a strengthening program. Almonte has been out since May 7. UP NEXT Phillies: RHP Aaron Nola (9-4, 3.43 ERA) gets the ball Friday as the Phillies open a three-game series at Atlanta, while the Braves go with LHP Max Fried (7-3, 2.91). Nola is coming off a loss to Miami in which he gave up three runs in 6 2/3 innings. Fried has a 1.56 ERA in his past three starts. Cubs: Open a three-game series against the Los Angeles Angels, with LHP Justin Steele (0-3, 3.20 ERA) starting for Chicago. Steele went six innings and allowed three runs in the Cubs' win at Milwaukee on Saturday. ------ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb Ec50439b7a91129807ece84629d14e26 United States North Carolina Mecklenburg County 1 Charlotte Charlotte Eagle Lake Yorkmont Road 2925 Kostas Kitchen 54ef500383415ababf3839bc6f58267d United States North Carolina Mecklenburg County 1 Charlotte Charlotte Eagle Lake Yorkmont Road 2925 Kostas Kitchen O D140b8bc8f5f435d50223cf52c7341cd United States North Carolina Mecklenburg County 1 Charlotte Charlotte Eagle Lake Yorkmont Road 2925 Kostas Kitchen 237878fg FK3hlnaXIAYOe06 Large O Kitchen Fbc80b74650ca560c4e0e82c43334dbc B44503986a512b2d14a65ab6a5e1cf82 Kitchen St ?itok=omahrN1z 31446cfd0ff8379a7600145630d1777f 1 ?media Id=192551066006406 2b2962e6d5d1c965beb98831ae00aaa7 United States North Carolina Mecklenburg County 1 Charlotte Charlotte Eagle Lake Yorkmont Road 2925 Kostas Kitchen 300s 348s 21b6d07bd18bd2b046f3ab59b63ff0b1 United States North Carolina Mecklenburg County 1 Charlotte Charlotte Eagle Lake Yorkmont Road 2925 Kostas Kitchen 179841l3 219d5b7bd37d9b7c4832294f20b105c9 United States North Carolina Mecklenburg County 1 Charlotte Charlotte Eagle Lake Yorkmont Road 2925 Kostas Kitchen Pic4 Kitchen Kosta 1 Shepherd.4 Page 1 97fae371 652d 4fe2 9ed4 22af5e669ad9 BBECF639 8722 4C73 9387 E957683D2C35 IMG 0185 845x321 Kitchen Koski 02 1024x682 Kitchen01 Contemporary Kitchen Pic8 818abe30 6b20 4d84 892a Bd6fcb95cf13
