The Phillies are simply rolling. They finished off a three-game sweep of the Cubs with a tightly played 3-1 win Thursday night and have won nine straight games on the road, their longest streak since 1984.
Speaking of June, Kyle Schwarber opened the game with a home run to right field, his 21st of the year and eighth in his last 100 plate appearances. The Phillies scored two more in the third inning on a two-out, two-run single from Bryce Harper. Neither team pushed a run across the rest of the way. Yunior Marte, Gregory Soto and Craig Kimbrel followed by putting one man on base over three scoreless innings to send the Phillies to their 18th win in the last 23 games. They are 43-37 and 1½ games behind the Giants for the third NL wild-card spot.
