Schwarber, Castellanos power Phillies to 12-5 win, dropping Yankees 5 1/2 games back of Blue Jays
Schwarber's tying drive in the fifth off Will Warren was his 1,000th hit and 319th homer, the most for a player reaching 1,000 — eight more than Mark McGwire. Trea Turner had his fourth four-hit game this year, including a triple, and walked for the Phillies, who scored 10 runs in the last three innings.
Cody Bellinger, Austin Wells, Giancarlo Stanton and Anthony Volpe hit solo homers for the Yankees, who wasted 2-0 and 3-2 leads in dropping a season-high 5 1/2 games behind AL East-leading Toronto. New York led by seven games in late May but has gone 21-27 since. The Yankees have made 14 errors in July while allowing 32 homers.
After Realmuto's homer built a 6-3 lead in a four-run seventh and the Yankees closed within a run in the bottom half. Schwarber connected off Ian Hamilton in the eighth for his 36th homer and 33rd multi-homer game. Schwarber has six homers in seven games since winning the All-Star Game swing-off.
New York led 3-2 when Turner singled on a sinking liner off Tim Hill (3-3) starting the seventh that right fielder Aaron Judge trapped. Schwarber singled and Luke Weaver relieved with one out.
Nick Castellanos grounded sharply between first and second, where first baseman Paul Goldschmidt ranged to pick it up where the infield grass met the first. The four-time Gold Glove winner made an off-balance throw that sailed to the backstop as Turner scored on the infield single, Schwarber reached third and Castellanos took second.
Realmuto drove a changeup into the left-field seats for a 6-3 lead, the seventh homer off Weaver in his last 15 outings. Realmuto has gone deep in consecutive games following a 42-game homerless streak.
Volpe homered in the bottom half and Judge hit a sacrifice fly for his 84th RBI.
Tanner Banks (3-2) got the final out of the sixth.

NFL kicks off preseason with moment of silence after shooting that killed 4 people in New York
CANTON, Ohio (AP) — The NFL season kicked off at the annual Hall of Fame game Thursday night with a moment of silence for the four people killed earlier this week by a shooter who was targeting league headquarters in New York. The gunman also wounded a league employee in the shooting Monday night. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell told NBC he visited the employee for an hour on Wednesday and said he was improving. There was increased security around Tom Benson Stadium, where Eric Allen, Jared Allen, Antonio Gates and Sterling Sharpe will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday. 'That's real life and it's unfortunate that we live in a space right now that's a possibility and it's becoming a situation where if you're a parent, that's the first thing you think about is workplace safety for your child or for your loved ones,' Eric Allen told The Associated Press. 'And for it to specifically be the National Football League, the opening week is tonight, Hall of Fame is Saturday, and the game has made so many great strides, but it's just an example of there's still work to be done.' The league held a virtual town hall Wednesday, giving employees an opportunity to connect and share resources. Goodell told employees on Tuesday they could work remotely at least through the end of next week because league offices would be closed. Investigators believe Shane Tamura, 27, of Las Vegas, was trying to get to the NFL offices after shooting several people in the building's lobby, then another in a 33rd-floor office on Monday, before he killed himself, authorities said. Police said Tamura had a history of mental illness, and a rambling note found on his body suggested that he had a grievance against the NFL over a claim that he suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a degenerative brain disease that can be diagnosed only by examining the brain after a person dies. Tamura played high school football in California a decade ago but never in the NFL. ___ AP NFL: Rob Maaddi, The Associated Press

Raiders defensive line looks to prove itself after release of Christian Wilkins
HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — Christian Wilkins' expected impact on the Raiders' defensive line was in question long before he was shockingly released last week, which if nothing else provided clarity on what kind of front Las Vegas can take into the season. Jonah Laulu has showed some promise he could take over Wilkins' spot at tackle next to Adam Butler, who comes off a career season. Maxx Crosby is an elite edge rusher, and Malcolm Koonce on the other side has shown the ability to disrupt opposing passing games. Not that replacing one of the game's top interior linemen will be simple, but the Raiders might be able to absorb such a change reasonably well. 'We're not necessarily the biggest group, but across the board everybody moves really well,' coach Pete Carroll said. "So we're going to play to that. ... That's a real competitive group, and that's going to take us all camp. It's going to take us through the games and all of that to figure that out. There's no rush. "But it's a good spot because there's enough guys that have something to show you, so we just got to give them the right opportunities and see if we can draw out the best in them.' Crosby is the group's star, and in practice he has resembled the player who in 2022 and 2023 had 27 sacks and 45 tackles for loss. He played through injury last season in totaling 7 1/2 sacks and 17 tackles for loss over 12 games before finally being shut down to undergo ankle surgery. At the other end, Koonce missed the entire season because of a torn ACL. It was a major setback to a player trying to build on a 2023 season in which had six sacks over the final four games. The Raiders signed him to a one-year, $12 million prove-it contract this season. 'We're counting on Malcolm to be a big factor,' Carroll said. 'He's really athletic and he's really natural player, and he's got good instincts.' Butler and Laulu occupy the two inside spots. The Raiders have a known quantity in Butler, an eight-year veteran coming off back-to-back seasons in which he had five sacks each season. He was especially effective last season, starting a career-high 16 games. Butler didn't start any games in 2023, though he played in all 17. 'You only got one chance to do this,' Butler said. "I don't get to do my career over again. I changed my attitude, changed my approach to the game, and I just decided that I wasn't going to be just a third down player anymore. I decided that I am a starter. I'm going to prove myself in this league, and anybody that says I'm not, I'm going to do everything in my power to shut them up.' Laulu takes on the burden of being the player expected to step in for Wilkins. The second-year pro played in all 17 games last season, starting seven after Wilkins broke his foot in Week 5. Though Laulu had just three tackles for loss and one sack, he has used the extra snaps in practice this year to make a case for a bigger role, something Carroll said hasn't gone unnoticed. 'Coming in late to training camp, I came here the week before we played Week 1 and was just trying to learn the plays,' Laulu said. "I was trying to learn our philosophy on the defense, how we operate, and how do we attack offenses. 'Being able to now transition to this year where I'm still under the same coaches on defense and being able to stack on top of last year, I'm very comfortable in the defense, even though we changed some things.' Notes By not holding out, left tackle Kolton Miller doesn't have any catching up to do in training camp after signing a three-year, $66 million extension Wednesday, including $42.5 million guaranteed. 'Each day is an opportunity, and I feel like if you're not in it, you're taking a step back and it's really not helping you,' Miller said. "So I'm glad this all worked out, and I wouldn't want to do it any other way.' 2024 second-round draft pick Jackson Powers-Johnson came out of minicamp as the expected starting center, but shared the position with third-year pro Jordan Meredith in camp. That is until Thursday when Meredith lined up at center and Powers-Johnson at right guard. ... Jakorian Bennett started seven games at cornerback last season before going out with a shoulder injury, but has mostly been running with the second and third teams. Bennett pointed to not starting in high school until his senior season, going to a junior college and then to Maryland. 'I always feel like the underdog," Bennett said. "Not saying I'm an underdog right now, but I always had to get out the mud, and that's nothing I shy away from.' ___ AP NFL:

MLB trade deadline winners and losers: Padres and Astros go big while Twins trade away a third of their roster and Dodgers stay quiet
The 2025 MLB trade deadline finally arrived Thursday, and it didn't disappoint — at least not in the sheer quantity of trades. From 4 p.m. ET to a little after the deadline at 6 p.m. ET, MLB teams executed 24 different trades, 14 of which came after 5:30 p.m. ET. It was a wild flurry of roster transactions in which some teams remade their rosters, for better and for worse. Not every notable player on the market was traded. Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Joe Ryan, Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr., Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara, Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan, San Diego Padres starting pitcher Dylan Cease and Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Mitch Keller all stayed put despite days of reported discussions between teams. Here are the winners and losers from this year's trade deadline. Winners Carlos Correa If you're a high-priced player on a team that has clearly decided it has zero interest in continuing to compete for this season and possibly longer (more on that below), a homecoming is always welcome. Correa was a first overall pick for the Houston Astros in 2012 and starred for the big league team from 2015 to 2021. Despite exiting the team in free agency, he remains a popular figure in both the organization and its fanbase. Astros players were reportedly elated he's coming back and he confirmed to that Houston was the only team for whom he'd waive his no-trade clause. The return will see Correa play a position other than shortstop for the first time of his professional career, all 1,492 games of it. The Astros specifically made this trade because a hamstring injury to Isaac Paredes opened up third base, and that's where he'll play for the foreseeable future. Correa was actually set to play third back in 2023 until his deal with the New York Mets went up in smoke. This isn't the same Correa Astros fans might remember — the Twins were looking to move him for a reason and ate $30 million of his remaining $102 million to do so — but the chance to ride out your career with a franchise you're more than comfortable is something very few players get. Mason Miller The hardest throwing pitcher in baseball woke up on Thursday on a bad team playing in a minor league stadium and left it playing for a good team playing in a major league stadium. That's what we call an upgrade. With four years of team control left after this season, any Miller trade was bound to be huge, and the San Diego Padres didn't disappoint by parting with MLB Pipeline No. 3 overall prospect Leo De Vries and three other youngsters for Miller and starting pitcher J.P. Sears. That's a staggering price to pay, but Miller could easily make himself worth it by throwing some key innings in the playoffs. He's flanked by three other All-Star relievers in the San Diego bullpen, but this is still about as ideal an outcome he could have found with the A's set to play in Sacramento until at least 2027. Jerry Dipoto The Seattle Mariners entered Thursday tied for the final AL wild-card spot and were clearly in need of an upgrade. President of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto, baseball's most prolific trade artist, delivered. In exchange for a collection of lesser-known prospects, the Mariners got a new corner infield with first baseman Josh Naylor and third baseman Eugenio Suarez. Suarez, who ranks fifth in MLB in homers with 36, was the big prize, and it's a reunion with a still-popular player in Seattle to boot. Naylor and Suarez both figure to enter the middle of the Mariners' lineup, the kind of shift the fanbase has been waiting for over a very long time. They could have gone a little further, especially considering Suarez is a pure rental, but this is suddenly a very interesting roster if the rotation stays healthy. The Mets' bullpen The Padres and Philadelphia Phillies might have both added big-time closers with Miller and Jhoan Duran, but no team reinforced its bullpen quite like the New York Mets. Behind All-Star closer Edwin Diaz, the Mets have added Ryan Helsley from the St. Louis Cardinals, Tyler Rogers from the San Francisco Giants and Gregory Soto of the Baltimore Orioles to a group that already included Ryne Stanek and Reed Garrett. The Mets didn't need an overhaul as much as some teams, but that is an enviable group. The NL East is a two-horse race between the Mets and Phillies and both teams took measures to make sure it's not the bullpen that costs them the crown. Craig Breslow's critics The Boston Red Sox currently hold the second AL wild-card spot and they did not act very interested in keeping it at the trade deadline, acquiring struggling Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Dustin May and reliever Steven Matz from the St. Louis Cardinals. But don't worry. Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow, who caught plenty of flak in the Rafael Devers disaster, tried really hard to do more. Losers The Twins' remaining players Hoo boy, where to start. We figured the Minnesota Twins would be a seller at this year's deadline. They are 51-57 and 5.5 games out of the final AL wild-card spot, they had some players set to hit free agency and they weren't going down a chance to save some significant money. It's just that no one thought they would go this far. Here's the full list of Twins players who now play on other teams after Thursday: Carlos Correa, SS (Astros) Willi Castro UTL (Cubs) Jhoan Duran RHP (Phillies) Griffin Jax, RHP (Rays) Danny Coulombe LHP (Rangers) Chris Paddack, RHP (Tigers) Harrison Bader OF (Phillies) Ty France, 1B (Blue Jays) Louis Varland, RHP (Blue Jays) Brock Stewart, RHP (Dodgers) That is 10 players, also known as 38.5% of their active roster. That's their five (five!) best relievers and five players with multiple years of team control remaining after 2025. And they could have done even more, as Joe Ryan was arguably more valuable than any player on that list. This all makes more sense when you consider the team is reportedly $440 million in debt (they save $70 million from the Correa trade alone), but that is a galling amount of talent to part with and still consider yourself a big-league team. You can stop watching this team this year, and probably for a while. The L.A. Dodgers The Mets got better. The Phillies got better. The Padres got better. The Dodgers got ... slightly better. Even after a relatively inactive deadline, this is still one of the best teams in baseball on paper, but that's kind of the problem, isn't it? The Dodgers are talented, but injuries and a struggling bullpen have prevented them from breaking out of a crowded pack. The Padres are only three games behind them and now have good reason to believe they can catch them. To be fair, the Dodgers didn't make bad moves. Brock Stewart gives them a very solid arm in a bullpen that needs it, Alex Call, acquired from the Washington Nationals, gives them a decent platoon in left field alongside Michael Conforto and they probably weren't going to get much use out of Dustin May going forward. Those are still just improvements on the margins, though, and we're used to the Dodgers taking at least one big swing at each deadline. They brought in multiple key players to their World Series run last year, and have previously acquired the likes of Max Scherzer, Trea Turner, Manny Machado, Yu Darvish and Rich Hill under president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman. Consider this deadline a big bet by the Dodgers that they already have enough talent returning from the injured list to remain the NL's top dog. Luis Robert Jr. The luster was sand-blasted off Robert a while ago, but it's getting ridiculous how long he's been surrounded by trade speculation. Once again, some teams were reported to be discussing the outfielder with the Chicago White Sox. And once again, the White Sox opted to keep him. He now has two $20 million team options remaining on his contract. Robert is essentially a reclamation project given his struggles since his All-Star season in 2023, but you would have to imagine he would be fine with removing himself from the White Sox organization in any way possible. Instead, he will remain with a team currently holding a 40-69 record. At least there are fewer ignominious record to break this season. Ben Cherington The Pittsburgh Pirates made quite a few trades, such as sending closer David Bednar to the New York Yankees and third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes to the Cincinnati Reds, but if you're going to sell, you definitely shouldn't be left with three players who are pending free agents. Tommy Pham, Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Andrew Heaney are still Pirates, at least until the offseason, as is Mitch Keller, who received significant interest amid a career year. It's hard to say the Pirates didn't leave talent on the table, but they've never exactly been known for seizing the day under Cherington, their general manager. The Padres' farm system There might have been only one GM in MLB would have made that Mason Miller trade from the Padres' side: A.J. Preller. Yes, Miller is amazing, but you know who else might be amazing? De Vries, a switch-hitting shortstop who might have the highest ceiling of any player in the minor leagues. The A's loved Miller, but this was not a hard decision for a team prioritizing its future years in Vegas over its Sacramento present. Get ready for the Leo de Vegas shirts. Thursday might have been the apex of Preller as a concept — he has never been shy about trading high-ceiling prospects when a star is on the table. From Thursday morning to Thursday afternoon the Padres traded away 13 prospects for Miller, designated hitter Ryan O'Hearn, outfielder Ramon Laureano, infielder Will Wagner and starting pitcher Nestor Cortes Jr. These were not insignificant prospects either. So you can probably expect the Padres' farm system to go down a few rankings next time around. We keep assuming Preller's aggression will eventually catch up with him, but we all know what will make it worth the prospect price.
