Brandon Marsh singled home the winning run in the 11th inning after the Phillies used two bunt hits to load the bases and beat the Cubs, 4-3.

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Alec Bohm is primarily a third baseman, but he's played first in the last five games with star slugger Bryce Harper (wrist) out. The 28-year-old had hits in four of them, including a three-hit, two-RBI performance against the Chicago Cubs during Tuesday's 8-4 loss.
