What happened: Bryce Harper drove in the first run of the game with an RBI double to right field in the bottom of the first inning. The hit scored Trea Turner, giving the Philadelphia Phillies a 1-0 lead over the Chicago White Sox as the team actively encourages fans to support their stars in All-Star voting.
Why it matters: The Phillies entered the series finale looking to snap a two-game skid and maintain their standing in the NL East. With the team currently trailing the Atlanta Braves by 9.5 games, early offensive production from Harper is critical for momentum and his standing in the ongoing All-Star selection process.
By the numbers: Philadelphia (34-30) sits in second place in the NL East. Harper is 1-for-1 with one RBI and one double in today's contest.
What to watch: Aaron Nola will look to protect the one-run lead as the Phillies aim to salvage the final game of the series.
