Phillies vs. Cubs Game Highlights (4/25/25) | MLB Highlights

Oh, rainy day, but the Phillies fans and Cubs fans are out. We get ready for Phil's and Cubs game one of a three game set. And the news right now weather wise is well not so positive. The tarp is on the field as we begin this one in a weather delay. We've got about a two hour and 10 minute rain delay that was caused the delay to start today's ballgame but the Cubs have taken the field big long right hander performing well so far this year. This will be his third start sixth appearance and his 100th career Major League game. He's faced 56 batters this year Boogan he's only walked one of them that's really good. This is the 11th game for Bryson Stott leading off those are the records for the leadoff hitters to the Phillies so far this season. They're five and five with Stott six and through it Schwarber Trey Turner they're two and four three balls and one strike to stop an outside ball for he works the walk. The Phillies have a base runner to start this ballgame Turner hitting two forty seven with a home run. He was one for twelve in the series against the Mets and they're got him looking no argument from Trey Turner one down Turner perhaps studies are going to see something off speed but a good heater Bryce Harper up Harpeting two fifty with five home runs he was one for eleven against the Mets the three to runner go swing and a miss throw to second tag and it spills out of the glove of Swanson Stott is safe it's a strikeout but a stolen base and a man in scoring position down world series champion Kyle Schwarber with the Chicago Cubs all four on Bay Street continues to increase thirty two game on Bay Street the longest of his career and it puts two on with two outs for Castellanos on the ground a third birdie on the back hand able to beat Stott to the bag and force out ends the inning third time one Walker only fifty six pitches last time out tight shoulder kind of got to a little bit as Vila was way down he didn't have to leave things off when the Cubs lead off man he's been a hot hitter of late last ten games hitting three seventy eight hope the other way that one's slicing and it finds space and then hops over the wall out of play it's an automatic double and now it's Kyle Tucker with half in scoring position five all left field when knocking it down and it falls for a hit wow one of those days here at Wrigley I was reading Max Kepler and he got kind of a slow start after it but he's at least initial body language was he was going to have a shot nope that's a lesson for everybody check out the impact the wind is passing first and third Cubs with a great scoring chance now say Suzuki the batter fly ball center field keep an eye on it Rojas coming in mask on tagging from third is half and he'll just draw the throw and there's one out so not deep enough to score and now to be left up to Michael Bush runner goes throw the second tag out the real mutual could still throw Tucker was unsure because he kind of made a swim move there the ball certainly beat him there and they're going to look at it that tells you the Cubs are pretty sure Tucker has not yet been caught and he swipes he swipes he over swiped yeah can't over swipe swipe too soon can't over swipe after a few the call on the field is overturned the runner is safe Cubs leading Major League Baseball not just in stolen bases but stolen base percentage full count on Bush the pitch by Walker outside he walked in now they're loaded with one away and we've reached a potential turning point early in the game with Dansby Swanson coming up swing and a miss he got him with that cutter or two outs here in the first inning first strikeout for Taiwan and it'll be left up to Nico Horner to cash in this opportunity line drive out toward Epler is over and will make the catch in the end by Taiwan man dance in and out of trouble but he leaves him loaded swing and a miss strike three good inning for Colin Ray one two three as he strikes out bone Phillies don't score after one and a half PCA one pitch and a leadoff man is aboard the second highest overall swing rate in baseball Carson Kelly ready to step in runner goes pitches in there for a strike throw is too late and PCA has a stolen base so Kelly is gone birdie making his fifth start at third base he's made four at second base this would be a good time for John birdies first RBI in a Cub uniform drilled out towards left center field and that'll top against the wall you were saying birdie into second PCA into score and a Cubs jump in front one to nothing John birdie RBI double redemption for John birdie still only one away and Ian half the batter and a called strike three third strikeout for Taiwan that was a good pitch it's up to Kyle Tucker now to drive in the run swing and a miss he got him four strikeouts for Taiwan and we're joined down in the dugout Justin Turner what's up what's up guys I've sent two men on with nobody out Dansby Swanson coming up the pitch to Dansby butted toward the third baseline the throw goes to third in time as they get the lead man Swanson's bunt between the mound and the third baseline the pitcher had an easy play was a big bouncing bunt so men at first and second one away and the batter Niko Hornets get through yes let's go let's go you got to go you got to go you got to go Niko Horner with the RBI single that's great base running right there during the four games they've averaged almost nine strikeouts per game they're at six already they're at six today yep they're on their way Kepler grounded out his first time up line drive base hit it to right field and Kepler's the board second hit for the Phillies today J.T. grounded out his first time up line drive it to left field a base hit Hap's going to try to cut it off Kepler's on his way to third they'll hold him there it's a double for J.T. second and third with two men down left field Hap charging in makes the catch boom is out Ray gets out of the jam fourth straight inning for the Cubs with the leadoff man aboard I don't have Ian Hap top of the order Ian Hap is one for two line drive their ball and that one rolling towards the corner and they're going to send and Quentin Berry waves them around in to score is Birdie well done by Quentin Berry not the best conditions to hit but the Cubs are swinging it here today this is their fourth double already watch Quentin Berry retreat down the line peeking into the corner Birdie with his speed able to kick it back into gear and score that run Cubs lead three to nothing now the Cubs have men at the corners with two away and John Birdie will stand in he's two for two today ground ball out to second base and then start is up with it and the inning is over so a scoreless sitting for Jose Ruiz Phillies have two runners on with nobody out and Cal Stephenson is going to pinch it swing and a foul tip into the mitt of Kelly and he struck him out now there's one away for Bryson Stott in the air Swanson waving his arms he'll make the fair catch on the infield fly there are two outs and Trey Turner's coming up on the ground Swanson reaching forward to second pick Nico got him in second yard sale out there in center for Dansby Swanson advancing the third is Swanson and now what you really want to do is get him in as Pete Armstrong steps in points back toward the mound it's going to get the run in yes sir and the Cubs take a four nothing lead Pete Armstrong bunting it back toward the mound the big man Hernandez came in reached down could not get the handle and it's an RBI for Carl Armstrong and the Cubs lead four to nothing we go to the ninth inning and the Phillies face right hander Daniel Palencia bone bounces that one back toward the middle so his hitting streak unless the Phillies have a miraculous comeback here is going to end at 10 games Cal Stephenson has struck out today he came on for Johan Rojas and there got two outs and Bryson Stott is the final hope for the Phillies I drive right field Tucker ballgame Cubs win for zip they take the opener against the Phillies
