PHILADELPHIA — Nick Castellanos, Trea Turner and Kody Clemens homered, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Chicago Cubs 9-6 on Wednesday night and clinched a first-round bye in the playoffs. Castellanos had three hits and scored three times. Bryson Stott also had three hits and Brandon Marsh drove in three runs for the Phillies, who claimed their first NL East title in 13 years on Monday night. Coupled with the Milwaukee Brewers’ 2-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Phillies secured the bye and home-field advantage in the National League Division Series. The Phillies owned the tiebreaker with the Brewers after winning the season series against the NL Central champions. Nico Hoerner homered twice for the Cubs, and Isaac Paredes hit four singles. The Cubs lost two of three in the series to finish with a 39-42 road record. The Phillies closed out the home portion of its regular season with a 54-27 mark. A crowd of 42,438 was on hand for the 47th sellout of the season, running the home attendance to 3,308,638 on the year. The Phillies finish with three games at Washington, beginning on Friday. They can clinch home-field advantage through the NLCS by ending the season tied with or ahead of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who entered Wednesday a half-game in front of the Phillies at 93-64. Turner put the Phillies in front with a one-out solo home run in the first. Stott added a two-run double against Javier Assad (7-6), lifting the Phillies to an early 3-0 lead. Castellanos added another solo home run in the third, but Hoerner responded with a three-run home run off Cristopher Sánchez in the fourth.

Sánchez was charged with four runs, three earned, and five hits in 4 2/3 innings. José Ruiz (5-1) got four outs for the win.
