The Chicago Cubs have experienced some issues at third base this season, but it looks like those issues might be solved both now and in the future. After earning the job to begin the season, rookie sensation Matt Shaw was eventually sent back down for about a month with struggles at the plate to begin his big league career.

Ian Happ homered twice, including a two-run shot in the sixth inning that rallied the Chicago Cubs to an 8-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies.

The Chicago Cubs are "planning to be aggressive" at the MLB trade deadline for a "strong starting pitcher" and bullpen help, according to Jim Bowden of The Athletic.

The Cubs are the best team in the NL Central, but they have a future star at the AAA level in Kevin Alcantara who need to be called up.

The Cubs then pulled ahead in the 11th on an RBI double by Crow-Armstrong. Cubs starter Matthew Boyd, who held the Phillies to two runs (one earned) in six innings, harped on his own error on a pickoff attempt, which eventually led to the second run.

The Philadelphia Phillies tagged Ben Brown for three runs in the first inning on the way to a 7-2 win Wednesday to take the series over the Chicago Cubs.
