Eugenio Suárez's 3rd grand slam of the season lifts D-backs over Mariners 5-2 for 3-game sweep
PHOENIX (AP) — Eugenio Suárez hit a go-ahead grand slam, Eduardo Rodriguez pitched into the seventh inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks swept a three-game series from the Seattle Mariners with a 5-2 win on Wednesday. Arizona trailed 2-0 after five innings but scored five runs in the sixth for a second straight game to take control. Corbin Carroll and Ketel Marte led off the sixth with back-to-back singles, Josh Naylor walked with one out and then Suárez launched a slider 410 feet off Bryan Woo (5-4) into the left-center seats to give the D-backs a 4-2 lead. It was Suárez's third grand slam of the season. Pavin Smith added a solo homer later in the inning for a 5-2 advantage. Rodriguez (2-3) matched his second-longest outing of the season, giving up two runs over 6 1/3 innings. The left-hander came into the game with a 6.70 ERA, but navigated the Mariners' lineup without much trouble, surrendering six hits and a walk while striking out five. Woo gave up five runs on seven hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out three. Seattle's Julio Rodríguez had three hits and Donovan Solano hit a solo homer. Arizona improved to 34-34 for the season and will try to go over .500 for the first time since May 23 when they host the Padres on Friday. The Mariners dropped to 33-34. Key moment The Mariners put two runners on in the seventh, but D-backs reliever Juan Morillo coaxed a double play ball from Miles Mastrobuoni to end the threat. Key stat Suárez has 295 career homers, pushing him to third among Venezuelan-born players in big league history, passing Magglio Ordóñez's mark of 294. Miguel Cabrera had 511 homers and Andrés Galarraga had 399. Up next The Mariners host the Guardians and RHP Gavin Williams (5-3, 3.86 ERA) on Friday night. RHP Ryne Nelson (2-2, 4.60 ERA) throws for the Diamondbacks, who host the Padres on Friday night. ___ AP MLB:

Mariners Nearing Logan Gilbert Decision After Bryce Miller News
Mariners Nearing Logan Gilbert Decision After Bryce Miller News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Seattle Mariners' rotation is once again in flux after right-hander Bryce Miller was placed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with right elbow inflammation. Advertisement Miller is expected to miss 4-6 weeks, marking his second IL stint this season due to arm trouble. Miller had only just returned from his previous absence on May 31, but the results were concerning. Across two starts, he posted an 8.00 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 4:2 K:BB in nine innings, struggling with command and consistency. Seattle now finds itself needing to shore up the rotation depth as the season enters a critical summer stretch. One name that continues to rise to the surface is Logan Gilbert. Apr 25, 2025; Seattle, Washington, USA; Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert (36) pitches to the Miami Marlins during the second inning at T-Mobile Park. Mandatory Credit: Steven Bisig-Imagn Images© Steven Bisig-Imagn Images Gilbert, sidelined since May with a right elbow flexor strain, has been ramping up through a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma. On Tuesday, he made what's expected to be his final tune-up start, and delivered his strongest outing yet. Advertisement The right-hander tossed six shutout innings, allowing one hit and one walk with six strikeouts. Gilbert threw 72 pitches (43 strikes) and retired 13 consecutive batters at one point. Even more encouraging, Gilbert featured his full pitch mix, including his splitter, a pitch that's trick to regain feel for after a flexor issue. He's been on a regular five-day throwing schedule, putting him in line to return as soon as Monday, when the Mariners open a home series against the Boston Red Sox.

Luzardo returns to form with 10 strikeouts and Phillies bats come alive to end prolonged slumps
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Ricky Stenhouse Jr. admired Kyle Schwarber's shot deep into the right-field seats —'that's a bomb!' — and got a thrill when Nick Castellanos came inches away from his own solo homer. Castellanos settled for a triple, showing that in baseball — unlike in Stenhouse's day job in NASCAR — good things happen when a long drive ends with a smack off the wall. Alec Bohm also went deep and teamed with Schwarber and Castellanos to contribute three of the Phillies' five extra-base hits in a win the team can only hope revived an offense that's been punchless this month. Another encouraging sign? Jesús Luzardo put two disastrous starts behind him and struck out 10 in six innings to lead the Phillies past the Chicago Cubs 7-2 on Wednesday. The Phillies had lost nine of 10 games overall headed into the Cubs' series and suffered the double whammy of losing first baseman Bryce Harper to wrist soreness and starter Aaron Nola adding a stress reaction in one of his right ribs. They returned home and split the first two games of the three-game set against the Cubs in underwhelming fashion: Of their 26 hits in two games, 23 were singles. Schwarber hit his 21st homer a Monster Mile — Stenhouse attended to promote the July 20 NASCAR race at Dover Motor Speedway — and Bohm added four RBIs to help the Phillies win the series. Schwarber is averaging one home run for every 10.94 at-bats during June in his career, which ranks third in MLB history with at least 600 at-bats behind Babe Ruth (10.64 AB/HR) and Mark McGwire (10.80 AB/HR). Luzardo handled the rest. The left-hander was an early season success story in his first season since he was acquired from Miami in what looked like the heist of the winter. He struck out 11 in his Phillies' debut and followed in his second start with seven scoreless innings. Luzardo struck out a combined 20 batters in consecutive starts in late May as the Phillies surged to the lead in the NL. Luzardo's next two starts were somehow about as bad as it gets — he was rocked for 12 runs in 3 1/3 innings that skyrocketed his ERA from 2.15 to 3.58 and he gave up eight runs in 2 1/3 innings in his last outing in Toronto. Luzardo insisted he was healthy and still hit the high 90s with his fastball, forcing him to study game film with a bit of a detective's eye to find out why his season soured. He came to the conclusion that he must have been tipping his pitches. How about a tip of the cap from Phillies fans instead? 'There's a lot of things we tinkered with,' Luzardo said. 'The biggest thing was attention to detail, attention to where we want to go, pitch selection that comes from me.' Luzardo fanned two batters in the first inning to get the gem of a start going. He didn't walk a batter in six innings and allowed his only run with the Phillies up 4-0. Luzardo gave up consecutive singles to open the second inning before he struck out the side. 'He studies himself and he wants to address what he's doing wrong,' Schwarber said. 'That's the impressive thing about him. We were all excited to watch him get out there on the mound today and see what was going to happen. Never a third time.' Max Lazar worked two innings of relief and Michael Mercado tossed a scoreless ninth for the Phillies. Luzardo recorded his fourth double-digit strikeout game in his 15th start of the season, the first Phillies pitcher with four or more double-digit strikeout games in their first 15 starts with the team since Steve Carlton had five in 1972. Yes, the Hall of Famer with the 10-foot statue outside Citizens Bank Park. Not all stats, of course, are usually measured against Hall of Famers. Luzardo was the first Phillies left-hander with at least 10 strikeouts and no walks in a game since Drew Smyly struck out 10 in 2019 at Washington. Up next, an off day and a home weekend series against a Blue Jays team that outscored the Phillies 11-2 in consecutive losses last weekend. Schwarber was willing to bet the past two weeks were just a blip in a long season for a playoff-tested team rather than the start of a summer swoon. 'We know what we have,' Schwarber said. 'We've been in a little rut and we're finding our way out of it. We know that if we do what we need to do, we're know that we're not going to be losing many games overall.' ___
