Turner's 5 hit-day, Schwarber's power lead Phillies to sweep of Mariners
Turner has six multihit games in his last seven. He led off the game with a triple and collected four singles.
Schwarber hit a National League-leading 45th homer and had an RBI double, a run-scoring single and a sacrifice fly. He leads the majors with 110 RBIs, a career high.
Max Kepler had three hits, including a homer, and Bryson Stott had three hits and two RBIs for the Phillies, who have won four straight.
Jesús Luzardo (12-6) struck out 12 in six innings. He allowed one run on three hits.
Julio Rodríguez and Eugenio Suárez each hit solo homers for Seattle, which has lost five straight and seven of eight.
Luis Castillo (8-7) allowed three runs on 10 hits in four innings.
Major league home run leader Cal Raleigh went 0 for 4. Raleigh, with 47 homers, is one shy of matching the single-season record for home runs by a catcher.
Key moment
Reliever José Alvarado made his first appearance for Philadelphia after serving an 80-game suspension for violating the league's performance-enhancing drug policy. He received an ovation from the crowd and pitched a perfect eighth inning, striking out Raleigh to end it.
Key stat

James Wood hits a 3-run homer and the Nationals beat the banged-up Mets 9-3 to win series
WASHINGTON (AP) — James Wood broke out of a slump with a three-run homer, Riley Adams hit a go-ahead, two-run single in the fifth inning, and the last-place Washington Nationals beat the New York Mets 9-3 on Thursday to take two of three from their banged-up NL East rivals. Wood's opposite-field shot to left in the ninth was his 26th homer of the season but just his second since the second-year slugger played in his first All-Star Game. Rookie Brady House had three hits and an RBI for the Nationals, who got another strong performance from their inexperienced bullpen after All-Star MacKenzie Gore couldn't get through the fifth. Jackson Rutledge (2-2), Clayton Beeter, PJ Poulin, Cole Henry and Jose A. Ferrer combined to allow one hit in 4 2/3 innings, with Ferrer getting the last four outs for his fourth save. Francisco Lindor broke the Mets' franchise record for leadoff homers in a season with his eighth. It was his 25th homer of the season and 28th career leadoff shot. Starling Marte also homered for the Mets, who didn't have regulars Brandon Nimmo and Jeff McNeil in the lineup due to nagging injuries. McNeil struck out looking as a pinch-hitter in the eighth. New York has lost 16 of 21 and fell seven games behind first-place Philadelphia in the division. Key moment House led off the fifth with a single against Sean Manaea (1-2) and scored on a sacrifice fly by Paul DeJong before Adams' single off reliever Tyler Rogers made it 4-3. Key stat Mets slugger Juan Soto went 1 for 12 with six strikeouts in the series against the club that signed him as a 16-year-old in 2015. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. Up next The Mets begin a series at Atlanta on Friday, with rookie Nolan McLean (1-0, 0.00 ERA) making his second career start. Joey Wentz (4-3, 4.72) pitches for the Braves.

With runners at second and third and one out in the fourth inning, Ohtani got hit by a 93-mph line drive off the bat of Colorado's Orlando Arcia on his right leg that caused him to limp and grimace in pain. The liner struck the reigning National League MVP and ricocheted toward the first base line. Ohtani gave chase and grabbed the ball on the line, spun to make a throw, but had no play as a runner scored. After a mound visit from manager Dave Roberts and team medical personnel, Ohtani stayed in the game and got the last two outs of the inning, with the Dodgers trailing 5-0 at the time.

Roberts said after the game that the line drive hit Ohtani on the thigh and managed to avoid his knee and any on-bone contact. 'I was just really relieved that it was the thigh, because it hit him flush,' Roberts said. 'If you're talking about the kneecap, that's a different conversation. When I saw the ball mark on his thigh, I was very relieved, relative to the situation.' Through a translator, Ohtani said he had recently been hit in the same spot on his leg by a pitch. 'I'm glad it didn't hit the knee,' Ohtani said through a translator. 'I think we avoided the worst-case scenario. So, I'm going to focus on the treatment.' Ohtani was making his 10th start of the season after not pitching in the 2024 season while recovering from elbow surgery. The earned runs that he allowed matched the most he had permitted since July 2022, and the nine hits allowed matched a career high. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'I put the team in a bad spot,' Ohtani said. 'It was just a very regrettable outing. I wish I could have done better.' Even after getting hit by the line drive, Ohtani stayed in the game and drew a walk in his at-bat in the fifth inning. But, he did not bat in the eighth and was replaced by Alex Call, who struck out. Ohtani finished with a double and a walk and extended his on-base streak to 18 games. Roberts said he's 'confident' Ohtani will play Friday against the San Diego Padres. Even before the injury, Ohtani was scheduled to sit out Thursday's series finale against the Rockies. He entered Wednesday without a decision and a 3.47 ERA. This season, he hasn't thrown more than 4 ⅓ innings or 80 pitches. Against the MLB-worst Rockies, he threw 66 pitches, 49 for strikes. Ohtani is batting .284 with 44 homers, one behind NL-leading Kyle Schwarber of the Phillies, with 83 RBIs. Columnists Sunshine Girls Sunshine Girls Toronto Maple Leafs Toronto & GTA
