Cubs trip up Nola as Lester shuts down Phils
Javier Baez, Daniel Murphy and Anthony Rizzo smacked solo home runs off ace Aaron Nola, lifting the Cubs to a series victory over the Phillies and a season-high 26 games over .500. Baez’s blast was his 30th of the season and raised his NL-leading RBI total to 100. He’s the fifth Cubs player to reach 30 homers and 100 RBIs before or in their age-25 season, joining Ernie Banks, Ron Santo, Rizzo and Kris Bryant.
