Phillies' offence leads to a convincing 8-3 win, ending Jays' five-game win streak
TORONTO - Trea Turner and Bryce Harper hit solo homers in Philadelphia's six-run first inning as the Phillies beat Toronto 8-3 on Tuesday to end the Blue Jays' five-game win streak. Bryson Stott added a two-run single off Toronto starter Bowden Francis as the visitors sent 11 men to the plate in the opening frame. Turner added a solo homer in the eighth inning for his first multi-homer game of the season. Davis Schneider and Addison Barger went deep for the Blue Jays (31-29), who had their seven-game home win streak halted in front of 32,632 fans on a warm, clear evening with the retractable roof open. Philadelphia (37-23) ended its four-game losing streak. The Phillies have won 14 of their last 16 road games. After Schneider put Toronto on the board with a solo shot in the fifth inning, the Blue Jays loaded the bases against Cristopher Sanchez (5-1) but Alejandro Kirk grounded out to end the threat. Sanchez allowed four hits and one earned run over six innings. Barger hit a two-run shot in the eighth to become the first Blue Jay to homer in four straight games since Teoscar Hernandez in August 2021. Francis (2-7) allowed seven hits, six earned runs and two walks over a 58-pitch outing. He struck out a pair. The Phillies outhit the Blue Jays 11-5. The game took two hours 46 minutes to play. SCHERZER STRIDES Blue Jays right-hander Max Scherzer, who has made just one start this season due to a thumb issue, threw a 37-pitch live bullpen session on Tuesday. 'He looked good, felt good,' manager John Schneider said before the game. The next step would see Scherzer throw about 50 pitches in either a simulated game or a Florida Complex League game on Sunday, Schneider said. ROMANO RETURNS Philadelphia reliever Jordan Romano returned to Rogers Centre for the first time since signing a one-year deal with the Phillies in the off-season. A montage featuring highlights from his six seasons with Toronto was shown on the stadium's video screen early in the game. Romano, from Markham, Ont., is third on the Blue Jays' all-time saves list (105) behind Tom Henke (217) and Duane Ward (121). COMING UP Toronto's Jose Berrios (2-2, 3.86) was scheduled to start on Wednesday against fellow right-hander Mick Abel (1-0, 0.00). The three-game series will wrap up Thursday with a matinee.

‘No taking your foot off the gas pedal': Competition tight at ladies' breakaway roping qualifier
It was a big day for some rodeo athletes at the Nutrien Western Event Centre, there to hopefully earn a berth in this year's Calgary Stampede. Tuesday was a big day for some rodeo athletes at the Nutrien Western Event Centre. A lot was on the line for these competitors. They were there to hopefully earn a berth in this year's Calgary Stampede. They were competing in the ladies' breakaway roping qualifier, which makes its debut at this year's Stampede. Breakaway roping is one of the fastest-growing rodeo sports. It showcases exceptional horsemanship and roping skills. 'It's all about that catch and stop. … As soon as that rope breaks away from their saddle horn, that is when time is called for them,' said Navada Phipps, western events specialist. It was a big day for some rodeo athletes at the Nutrien Western Event Centre, there to hopefully earn a berth in this year's Calgary Stampede. It was a big day for some rodeo athletes at the Nutrien Western Event Centre, there to hopefully earn a berth in this year's Calgary Stampede. This year marks the first time ladies breakaway roping will be featured as a main event at the Calgary Stampede. One of the competitors hoping to make it was Kylie Whiteside of Longview. She says earning a spot in Calgary would be a dream come true. 'For this, it's definitely surreal because the opportunity that we have to rope in the infield in Calgary is huge,' said Whiteside. 'I mean, seeing the sport grow and having that opportunity is just another chance for women to compete at a huge level.' Unfortunately, it didn't work out for Whiteside and many others on this day—the competition was fierce, and she couldn't secure a spot in Calgary. 'It's very competitive. I mean, we come from all over Canada and the States to do it—to come here—and there's no taking your foot off the gas pedal because it's tough,' said Whiteside. 'Everyone is very talented out there.'

The qualifier is a pressure cooker, and you've got to be on your game. 'Of the 159 contestants that have entered this breakaway qualifier, they are competing for four spots to come and compete at the Calgary Stampede rodeo,' said Phipps. The breakaway ropers will have a chance to win more than $310,000 over the 10 days of the Stampede.
