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 New Year 2024 From White Dotted Lines On Black Background Vector Black And White 2023 600x400 2024 Number Icon Happy New 260nw 1249309822 Happy New Year 2024 Luxury Golden Number 2024 Vector Illustration Vector Id1277997080?k=6&m=1277997080&s=612x612&w=0&h=WGG9dOW 7WzlYUqW9LBThN XFOiFaCDS82ElOZR3Q1g= 2024 Golden Number On Black Background Greeting Vector 48019149 Pngtree 2024 Golden Font On Black Background Picture Image 1980274 Pngtree Black And White 2024 Sign Vector Png Image 13455404 800px COLOURBOX13183555 Pngtree 2024 Black White Vector Png Image 13455414 Pngtree 2024 Black Background Metal Texture Picture Image 1980284 2024 Logo Text Design Black Number 2024 White Background Design Template Typography Greetings 653528 2706 ?w=1380 Happy New Year 2024 Vector With Gold Glitter Black Background 824539 250 Number White Background Logo Text Design Vector Illustration Website Social Media Commercial Poster Calendar Banner 250565027 Pngtree Black And White 2024 Vector Png Image 256874 您的季节性飞行物的 新年快乐背景,横幅、贴纸和贺卡 年到 年 135758291 Black Background With Numbers 2024 It 771335 54455 Background 2024 Abstract White Black 260nw 2391286959 2024 Election Money On Black 260nw 1425903500 Pngtree 2024 Glowing On Black Background Image 1493189 470844595 Pngtree 2024 New Year Greetings Fireworks Image 1537804 2024 White Background 136558 33370 Watercolor 2023 Number On Black Abstract Color Paintbrush Strokes Background Happy 2023 New Year Colorful Background Vector Image Photo New 2023 Jpg White Background Isolated Texture Photo Image 2024 873925 240933 Image Photo New 2023 Jpg White Background Isolated Texture Photo Image 2024 873925 352968 Image Photo New 2023 Jpg White Background Isolated Texture Photo Image 2024 873925 240785 Happy New Year 2024 Dark Background Design Vector 1017 46037 2024 White Background 136558 33333 Image Photo New 2023 Jpg White Background Isolated Texture Photo Image 2024 873925 236816 2024 White Background 136558 33375 Image Photo New 2023 Jpg White Background Isolated Texture Photo Image 2024 873925 237427 Image Photo New 2023 Jpg White Background Isolated Texture Photo Image 2024 873925 237407 White Abstracts 2ACCT93 Image Photo New 2023 Jpg White Background Isolated Texture Photo Image 2024 873925 241420 Image Photo New 2023 Jpg White Background Isolated Texture Photo Image 2024 873925 353367
