Nick Castellanos, Edmundo Sosa and Josh Harrison homered and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Chicago Cubs 8-5 on Wednesday night.
Castellanos hit a three-run homer in the second off Drew Smyly after Sosa launched a two-run shot earlier in the inning. Castellanos also hustled out an RBI double and scored in a two-run fourth.
Harrison added a solo homer in the fifth off Hayden Wesneski to make it 8-2, helping Philadelphia overcome a shaky start by Aaron Nola to win for the 17th time in 22 games. The Phillies also won their eighth straight road game, matching their longest streak since 2011. Nola allowed four runs and seven hits in five innings, after going at least six innings in 13 straight starts.
"They had a couple hard hit balls, but it also just felt like they had a lot of soft contact that was falling in front," Smyly said. "Once the guys got on base, I just didn’t do a good job of stranding them. They were able to get the big hit."Chicago’s Jared Young hit his first career homer in his first at-bat this season when he connected in the third, and Dansby Swanson added a solo drive in the fifth.
