CHICAGO — Editor's note: The above video is from June 24.

Brad Miller hit three home runs in a game for the first time in his career, and the Philadelphia Phillies routed the sinking Chicago Cubs 8-0. 

Miller hit a solo drive in the third inning and added two-run homers in the fifth and seventh innings. 

With a chance at joining the other 18 players who have hit a record four home runs in a game, Miller popped up in the ninth. He grounded out in his first at-bat. 

Zach Eflin tossed six crisp innings as the Phillies took three of four games at Wrigley Field.

 Didi Gregorius added a two-run shot and All-Star catcher J.T. Realmuto scored on a double steal. 

The Cubs lost for the 12th time in 13 games.

The Phillies will now head to Boston to face the Red Sox beginning tonight at 7:10 p.m.
