Rea and Swanson help the Cubs beat the slumping Phillies 5-1 for their 6th straight win

CHICAGO (AP) — Colin Rea pitched into the seventh inning and the Chicago Cubs beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-1 on Monday night for their sixth consecutive win.

Dansby Swanson hit a three-run homer for Chicago, and Michael Conforto added a sacrifice fly.

The Cubs have outscored their opponents 44-14 during the team's longest win streak since it also won six in a row from Aug. 26 to Sept. 1, 2024. They are tied with Atlanta for the majors' longest active win streak.

The Phillies have dropped six in a row and seven of eight. They have been outscored 42-10 during their losing streak.

Rea (3-0) permitted one run and six hits in 6 2/3 innings, aided by a stellar defensive performance from his Cubs teammates.

Gold Glove left fielder Ian Happ went into the stands to catch Kyle Schwarber's flyball in the first. Gold Glove second baseman Nico Hoerner made diving stops on hard grounders by Bryce Harper in the first and Schwarber in the seventh. First baseman Michael Busch robbed Bryson Stott with a diving play in the sixth.

Matt Shaw also helped out with a terrific catch on Trea Turner's liner to right field in the ninth.

Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola (1-2) was tagged for five runs and six hits in 4 1/3 innings. He struck out five and walked four.

The Cubs grabbed control in the second. They loaded the bases with no outs, and Happ scampered home when Miguel Amaya bounced into a double play.

Following a walk to Pete Crow-Armstrong, Swanson drove a 3-1 sinker to center for a 4-0 lead. The projected distance on Swanson's fifth homer of the season was 424 feet.

The Phillies scored their only run on Justin Crawford's RBI double in the fourth. Crawford was stranded when Rafael Marchán bounced to first for the final out of the inning.

Jesús Luzardo (1-3, 7.94 ERA) starts for the Phillies on Tuesday night, and fellow left-hander Shota Imanaga (1-1, 2.45) pitches for the Cubs.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — An armed man standing atop one of the historic Teotihuacán pyramids opened fire on tourists Monday, killing one Canadian and leaving at least 13 people injured at the archaeological site north of Mexico’s capital, authorities said.

The shooter later died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said, and security officials found a gun, a knife and ammunition.

The local government said seven people were wounded by gunshots. How the other people were injured was not disclosed, but those taken to hospitals for treatment were six Americans, three Colombians, one Russian, two Brazilians and one Canadian, the local government said.

Video and photos published by local media showed a man standing with a gun on top of a pyramid while people ducked for cover. A number of gunshots rang out in the videos.

The shooting took place shortly after 11:30 a.m. when dozens of tourists were at the top of the Pyramid of the Moon. A man standing on the structure’s platform began firing upward, according to a tour guide who was at the scene and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity for safety reasons.

“Some people, because they were scared ... threw themselves face down on the ground, and the rest of us started to go down,” the guide said, recounting how the shooter, upon seeing the tourists descending the pyramid’s steps, began firing.

Another group of visitors lay motionless on the pyramid’s platform to avoid being targeted by the shooter.

The first to respond to the shooting were the police officers providing security within the archaeological ruins, and shortly afterward a National Guard unit arrived in a van to handle the emergency.

In past years, staff at the archaeological site carried out security scans before people entered the area but have since stopped.

The guide showed a video that he took showing a woman limping and her back covered in blood and another man’s arm being bandaged.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum wrote on social media that the shooting would be investigated and that she was in touch with the Canadian Embassy.

“What happened today in Teotihuacán deeply pains us. I express my most sincere solidarity with the affected individuals and their families,” she wrote.

Anita Anand, Canada’s foreign affairs minister, said on X that as a “result of a horrific act of gun violence, a Canadian was killed and another wounded in Teotihuacán” and that her “thoughts are with their family and loved ones. ”

The Teotihuacán pyramids are a series of massive structures on the outskirts of Mexico City built by three different ancient civilizations. As one of Mexico's most important touristic destinations, the site drew more than 1.8 million international visitors last year, according to government figures.
