Harper homers in return, Turner goes deep twice as Phillies use 6-run 1st to beat Toronto Blue Jays 8-3
Bryce Harper homered in his first at-bat following a five-game absence, Trea Turner went deep twice and the Philadelphia Phillies scored six runs in the first inning Tuesday night on the way to an 8-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays that ended a four-game skid. Harper was back in action after being sidelined with a bruised right elbow after being hit by a pitch. The Phillies went 1-4 without the slugger and fell out of first place in the NL East. Against the Blue Jays, Harper went 1 for 3 with two walks and scored twice. Left-hander Cristopher Sánchez (5-1) allowed one run in six innings to win for the first time since May 7. Addison Barger hit a two-run home run off Max Lazar, and Davis Schneider hit a solo shot off Sánchez, but Toronto had its five-game winning streak halted. Barger has homered in four straight games, raising his season total to six. Blue Jays right-hander Bowden Francis (2-7) matched a career-worst by allowing seven runs, six earned, in 1 2/3 innings. Bryson Stott drew a leadoff walk and Turner followed with a two-run homer. Harper piled on with a 394-foot drive, his ninth. It was the third time the Phillies have hit back-to-back homers. Max Kepler's RBI single and Stott's two-run hit capped the six-run inning, which matched Philadelphia's biggest of the season. Turner added a solo homer, his seventh, off Erik Swanson in the eighth inning. It was Turner's first multi-homer game of the season and the 18th of his career. Back at third base after filling in for Harper at first, Alec Bohm made a diving stop on George Springer's grounder in the third, then threw from one knee to get the out. The Phillies have won 14 of 16 on the road. Blue Jays RHP José Berríos (2-2, 3.86 ERA) is scheduled to start Wednesday against Phillies RHP Mick Abel (1-0, 0.00).
