Suárez tosses 7 shutout innings, Schwarber hits 22nd homer to lead Phillies past Toronto 8-0
PHILADELPHIA — Kyle Schwarber hit a three-run homer, Ranger Suárez struck out six in seven shutout innings and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Toronto Blue Jays 8-0 on Friday night. Suárez continued to shine since his return from an early season back injury. He allowed seven runs in his first start of the season and has allowed only seven total in his next seven starts. The Phillies have won three of their last four games, and remain in the thick of the NL East hunt, even with key pieces Bryce Harper and Aaron Nola nursing injuries. Harper fielded groundballs at first base before the game, but has yet to swing the bat or throw as he recovers from right wrist inflammation. A two-time NL MVP, Harper seems unlikely to return from the 10-day injured list when his eligibility is up after the three-game set with the Blue Jays. Nola has an injury in his right ribcage and can't throw for at least two weeks. Nola, who had already been out since early May with a sprained right ankle, said he experienced discomfort when he takes deep breaths, and 'obviously, throwing.' Suárez received a standing ovation from Phillies fans when he walked off the mound in the seventh after throwing his 94th pitch. He got all the help he needed when the Phillies scored four runs off Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman in the second inning. Brandon Marsh socked an RBI double off the wall for a 1-0 lead and Schwarber connected on his 22nd homer of the season, a 410-foot shot to dead center that landed just beyond the outstretched glove of Myles Straw. Otto Kemp, a rookie who played at first base to move Alec Bohm back to his natural third base spot, doubled for his first career extra-base hit in the second and tacked on an RBI single in the sixth for a 5-0 lead. Trea Turner held an Emmy Award won for a documentary on his 2023 turnaround and then turned in a Gold Glove play in the third inning on a sliding grab to rob Toronto of a hit. Suárez walked just one batter. The Blue Jays send RHP Bowden Francis against Phillies LHP Cristopher Sánchez on Saturday. ___ MLB: /MLB

Jacksonville Jaguars HC Liam Coen speaks highly of QB Trevor Lawrence for taking work home even though he has a new baby girl at home
(Image via Getty: Trevor Lawrence) Work is worship for Jacksonville Jaguars star quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Why? Because the headline gave away the reason. On January 4, 2025, Lawrence and his beautiful wife, Marissa, announced that they had welcomed a baby girl into the world. And just a day later, Lawrence played the last match of the 2024 NFL season against the Indianapolis Colts and lost it by a devastating score of 26-23! However, this loss was so impactful that he took it as a lesson for the 2025 NFL season. Five months later, he continues to work hard to prove himself with utmost charm. Lawrence is gearing up like no other QB. His head coach Liam Coen sees it every single day and admires the way Lawrence takes home work even though his baby girl, Shae Lynn, is just a mere 5 months old. ACC Athlete of the Year 2021 Trevor Lawrence is working his tail off even though he has a 5-month-old baby girl Shae Lynn at home Former Kentucky's quarterbacks coach Liam Coen has been in awe of the 2021 NFL draft first-round 1st overall pick Trevor Lawrence since Day 1. So much so that he showered his praises for the QB on The Pat McAfee Show on June 12. Coen said, 'Man, this guy has leaned into everything that we've tried to coach since getting there. From the moment that we arrived - it was, man, how much time can I put into this thing? All throughout all the Phases - Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, you know, calling the plays, you know, multiple play calls, checks, protections - this guy has been up here, been in the building as much as possible, taken the work home with him, even though he has got a new baby at home - he is working his tail off.' Ex-Buccaneers Offensive Coordinator Liam Coen calls Archie Griffin Award recipient Trevor Lawrence a natural thrower of football Former LA Rams OC Liam Coen says 25-year-old Cartersville alumnus Trevor Lawrence throws the NFL Duke exactly where he needs to, 'You see him out there, and he is a natural thrower of the football. I mean, he can put the ball in places where he wants it to be. And now, it is just about - hey, how we can play at a consistently high-level game in and game out and also help him. We've got to improve the run game to be able to create a little bit more balance so that every throw isn't the biggest throw of the game. And then be able to turn the ball over on the defensive side of the ball to help him as well.' Liam Coen is really impressed by Trevor Lawrence's work ethic, recall, and attention to detail The first-time head coach for an NFL Team, Liam Coen, is trying so hard to change what an unnamed NFC executive said about Trevor Lawrence back in September 2024 - 'You want to fall in love with him one day and divorce him the next,' as reported by Michael DiRocco of ESPN. The newest Jagaurs HC concludes by saying, 'Man, been really impressed with his work ethic, his recall, his attention to detail. And he's doing everything we've asked so far, and see nothing but good things for him moving forward.'
