Notes: This game was overshadowed by the fact that Roy Halladay left the game early because of the extremely high temperatures in Chicago. He is expected to make his next start, but couldn’t get it done against the Cubs. Rodrigo Lopez and the Cubs bullpen shut down the red-hot Phillies offense on the way to a 6-1 win.
