"Javier Assad, in his first start since being called back up from Iowa, pitched nearly six shutout innings with just one hit and two walks allowed."
"Christopher Sánchez has allowed only three earned runs through as many starts this season, with a 1.65 ERA that suggests he may be a victim of subpar defense."
The Cubs faced a challenging start but avoided a sweep before heading to Philadelphia. The Phillies have also struggled, dropping games to the Giants and Diamondbacks. Javier Assad, returning from Iowa, pitched nearly six shutout innings in his last start. The Cubs adjusted their lineup, with key players like Nico Hoerner and Ian Happ taking prominent roles. Christopher Sánchez, the Phillies' lefty, has a strong ERA but may be affected by defensive issues. Both teams are looking to improve their performance.
