Brandon Marsh had a big hit Wednesday. (Grace Del Pizzo/Phillies Nation) Final Score:Phillies 9, Cubs 6 Trea Turner, Nick Castellanos and Kody Clemens each homered, while Brandon Marsh and Bryson Stott had big hits of their own as the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Chicago Cubs Wednesday. The 94th win of the season for the Phillies not only earned them a series victory, but when coupled with a Milwaukee Brewers loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates, secured a first-round bye in the NL playoffs. For Cristopher Sánchez, it was an underwhelming final performance in what's otherwise been a tremendous regular season. He lasted 4 2/3 innings, giving up five hits and four runs, three of which were earned. Still, it was quite the breakout year for the 27-year-old. He'll finish the season 11-9, 3.27 ERA, 2.99 FIP, two complete games and a 4.7 WAR over 181 2/3 innings pitched. His next start will likely come in either Game 2 of Game 3 of the NLDS. Highlights Turner homered in the bottom of the first inning, his 20th home run of the season. It's the fourth time in Turner's career that he's hit 20 homers in a season, and second in as many years with the Phillies: https://twitter.com/PhilliesNation/status/1839071673598738544 Later in the frame, Bryson Stott split the left-center field gap, bringing Bryce Harper and Nick Castellanos home: https://twitter.com/PhilliesNation/status/1839071004422799574 Castellanos, a former Cub, extended the lead to 4-0 with an opposite-field home run in the bottom of the third inning: https://twitter.com/PhilliesNation/status/1839076674803015881 Nico Hoerner got the Cubs back within one in the top of the fourth inning with a three-run home run.
