In a tightly contested match, the Philadelphia Phillies edged out the Chicago Cubs 4-3 in walk-off fashion at Citizens Bank Park, attributed largely to a critical error by Cubs pitcher Matthew Boyd. After achieving a pickoff earlier in the game, Boyd's errant throw allowed a runner to advance from first to third, leading to a run that turned the tide for the Phillies. Despite the Cubs' defense, which produced three double plays and two outfield assists, their offense struggled against Phillies ace Zack Wheeler, who struck out 1,000 batters in his career during this game.

The Cubs managed to tie the game late with a solo home run from Ian Happ, demonstrating resilience, but they couldn't hold off the Phillies, who responded with two runs in the 11th inning, including a bases-loaded single by Brandon Marsh. Manager Craig Counsell lamented that if not for Boyd's error, the inning's outcome would have been different.
