Swanson's hit in 10th gives Cubs 8-7 victory that extends both win streak and
Phillies' skid to 9

Associated Press
CHICAGO (AP) --- Dansby Swanson had his first game-ending hit in five years,
and the Chicago Cubs rebounded from a pair of blown leads to beat Philadelphia
8-7 in 10 innings Thursday for their ninth straight win and the Phillies' ninth
loss in a row.
Chicago led 6-2 before Philadelphia closed with three runs in the seventh.
Pinch-hitter Edmundo Sosa had a tying single off Jacob Webb in the eighth,
Seiya Suzuki put Chicago back ahead 7-6 when he homered against Brad Keller in
the bottom half and pinch-hitter Adolis Garca retied the score when he went
deep off Caleb Theilbar in the ninth.
Swanson's opposite-field, one-out single to right-center off Tanner Banks (0-2)
drove in automatic runner Ian Happ from third for Swanson's first walk-off hit
with the Cubs, giving the win to Javier Assad (2-1).
Chicago had a season-high 18 hits and is on its longest winning streak since
taking 11 in a row from July 31 through Aug. 12 in 2016 -- the year the Cubs
won their first World Series since 1908.
Philadelphia has lost nine straight for the first time since Sept. 20-28, 2018.
The Phillies haven't lost 10 in a row since an 11-game skid from Sept. 4-14,
1999.
Michael Busch had a three-run homer and four RBIs. Suzuki had three hits and
has three homers in three games.
Brandon Marsh hit a pair of solo homers and finished with three hits on warm
day with wind blowing out at Wrigley Field.
Cubs starter Edward Cabrera allowed five runs --- three earned --- and five
hits in a season-high seven innings.
Christopher Snchez gave up six runs and 13 hits in 5 1/3 innings.
