Direct answer
- The latest notable result: Phillies beat the Cubs, with a high-scoring affair in which Philadelphia piled up runs and held off late Cubs rally attempts. For example, coverage highlighted Philadelphia's offense and late-inning cushion in a 6-4 victory in one recent game, and other recaps showed multi-run innings contributing to Phillies wins in different matchups.
