Schwarber, Realmuto power Phillies to 12-5 win, dropping Yankees 5 1/2 games back of Blue Jays
NEW YORK (AP) — Kyle Schwarber hit a pair of two-run homers and J.T. Realmuto followed the Yankees' ninth error in four games with a tiebreaking, three-run drive in a four-run seventh inning, lifting the Philadelphia Phillies over New York 12-5 on Friday night.
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. Key moment

New York has 54 errors this season. Warren threw away a potential double-play grounder. Up next
New York RHP Marcus Stroman (2-1, 5.64) and Philadelphia LHP Ranger Suárez (7-4, 2.66) start Saturday.

49ers to sign former All-Big Ten offensive tackle
While quarterback is the most important position in football, the offensive line may be the most important position group in the sport because if they're not doing they're job, as a unit, it's hard to have success passing or running. So while the San Francisco 49ers seem to have their starting offensive line figured out for the 2025 season, they're still looking for more depth. On Sunday, they worked out three offensive tackles, including David Sharpe, D'Ante Smith and Isaiah Prince. After a successful workout, the 49ers are set to sign Prince, according to his agency, AMDG Sports. A corresponding move has yet to be announced for this reported transaction. Prince, 28, spent four seasons at Ohio State from 2015-18, earning All-Big Ten honors in his final two seasons with the Buckeyes before the Miami Dolphins took him in the sixth round (No. 202 overall) of the 2019 NFL draft. Miami waived Prince after four games as a rookie, and the Cincinnati Bengals claimed him off waivers. After opting out of the 2020 season during the COVID-19 pandemic, Prince returned to play in 15 games, starting four for the Bengals in 2021 and went on to start all four of their playoff games as well. Prince missed all of 2022 due to an injured elbow and has had stints with the Denver Broncos, Atlanta Falcons and Tennessee Titans over the last two years, playing just 29 offensive snaps and 10 special teams snaps in that time. Spencer Buford and Austen Pleasants have been working as San Francisco's primary backup tackles, and when Andre Dillard returns, he'll be another top option for one of those roles, so unless someone goes down with an injury, it feels like Prince will have to perform like a starter on the practice field and in preseason action to earn a spot on the roster.

How Marlins trolled Yankees just before sweeping them
Just when the Yankees' weekend from hell seemed like it couldn't get any worse, the Marlins' in-stadium DJ managed to pile on with one final jab. With Miami on the verge of sweeping the Yankees in the ninth inning of Sunday's game, the speakers at loanDepot Park blasted 'Sweet Caroline,' the Neil Diamond hit that is famously played at Fenway Park during each Red Sox home game. The Marlins sealed a 7-3 win shortly thereafter, marking the team's first sweep of the Yankees in franchise history. The clever troll job was perhaps also poking at the fact that the Yankees have now fallen 1 ½ games behind the arch-rival Red Sox in the American League East standings, with Boston surging behind its young core of talent. A clip of the scene went viral on social media, with Red Sox fans loving every bit of it. 3 The Marlins mascot brought out the brooms after Miami swept the Yankees. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect 'YEAH I LOVE THE MARLINS NOW,' one Boston fan wrote on X with a series of laughing emojis. 'Greatest thing I've ever heard in my life,' said another. 'Marlins fan base hasn't been this excited in 22 years!' added a Miami fan. After the game ended, the Marlins' social media team kept with the theme by posting on X: 'SWEEP CAROLINE! BA BA BAAA' 3 The Yankees have dropped into third place in the AL East. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect The Marlins, who have not been a serious contender in MLB for years, have become known for having a lackluster fan atmosphere at the cavernous loanDepot Park, which opened in 2012. But fans packed the stadium for Miami's sweep this weekend, with the team setting a series attendance record with a total of 101,545 fans at the ballpark across the three games. 3 The Marlins were all smiles during their sweep of the Yankees over the weekend. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect There were 34,601 fans in attendance for the 'Sweet Caroline' troll at Sunday's game — a blend of elated Marlins fans and disappointed Yankees fans. The Marlins took Game 1 of the series in absurd fashion with a shocking 13-12 win Friday night, and went on to a 2-0 triumph Saturday before Sunday's victory. The sweep moved the surging Marlins to .500 at 55-55 and six games back in the NL wild-card race.
