Schwarber hits his 42nd homer as Phillies rally past Reds
Schwarber's 42nd homer moved him past Shohei Ohtani and into the NL lead. The Dodgers faced the Angels later Monday night. Seattle's Cal Raleigh leads the AL and MLB with 45 homers. Schwarber has 97 RBIs this season.
Reds left-hander Andrew Abbott (8-3) allowed only three hits through seven innings. But, with two outs in the eighth, he allowed RBI doubles by Weston Wilson and Trea Turner. Schwarber followed with a two-run shot off Tony Santillan to complete the rally.
Abbott bounced back after a rough outing on Wednesday when he allowed four earned runs and a pair of homers in a 6-1 loss to the Cubs at Wrigley Field. Against the Phillies, he retired the first 12 batters he faced before J.T. Realmuto doubled leading off the fifth.
The Reds went ahead 1-0 when TJ Friedl doubled and scored on Gavin Lux's single in the first. It was the only run allowed by Phillies starter Taijuan Walker in his six innings.
Orion Kerkering retired the Reds in order in the ninth for his third save in seven chances. Jordan Romano (2-4) earned the victory for Philadelphia, which moved six games ahead of the idle New York Mets in the division.
Key moment
With one out in the seventh, Reds right fielder Noelvi Marte prevented the tying run from scoring when he threw out Bryce Harper attempting to score from third on Nick Castellano's fly ball.
Key stat
Schwarber, who was born in nearby Middletown, Ohio, has 13 career home runs at Great American Ball Park, the most of any road ballpark.
Up next
Phillies LHP Ranger Suárez (8-5, 2.94 ERA) will face Reds RHP Brady Singer (9-9, 5.43 ERA) on Tuesday.

Clarendon Hills drops game 3; bows out of ‘best experience' at Little League World Series
A magical summer came to an end Sunday for Clarendon Hills in the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Playing in an elimination-bracket game, Clarendon Hills, the Great Lakes Region champion playing in its first World Series, lost, 9-1, to the West Region winner from Hawaii. Clarendon Hills fell behind early, as Hawaii scored five runs in the bottom of the first inning, added three more in the second and one in the third for a 9-0 advantage. Clarendon Hills scored its lone run in the top of the fourth on an RBI-single by Liam Harrigan, scoring Jack Kaczmarski. 'Their team came out and was very aggressive,' Clarendon Hills manager Brian Herold said, 'Everything I had scouted about them — that we should be throwing breaking balls early — it was like they knew what my strategy was, They sat on off-speed stuff. I thought (pitcher) Jack (Kaczmarski) did terrific. Kudos to them.' Left-hander Kaczmarski was the starting pitcher for Clarendon Hills, working 1 2/3 innings, before giving way to Jack O'Malley for 1 1/3 innings and finally Luca Striltschuk for two. Hawaii taking a big lead early in the game definitely created a challenge. 'It affected us,' said infielder Matthew Kalish. 'It lowered our momentum. They just hit the ball.' Teammate Henry McMahon agreed. 'We just were tying to keep our heads up, stay with it and tryi to bounce back,' he said. Clarendon Hills found itself in the elimination bracket after losing Wednesday to the Mountain Region champion from Nevada, 16-1. The local team bounded back Saturday with a 3-2 win over the Mid-Atlantic Region winner from Pennsylvania. Hawaii, which won World Series titles in 2005, 2008, 2018, and 2022, dropped its opening game Friday to the Metro Region champion from Connecticut, 5-1. Clarendon Hills showed resiliency multiple times during its summer run, as it lost a game in district competition to Naperville, before beating the same team for the championship. After winning the Illinois state championship without a loss, Clarendon Hills was defeated by Ohio in the Great Lakes Region tournament, but came back again to beat that same team, which earned a berth in the World Series. While no World Series championship was in the cards for Clarendon Hills, it did bounce back from its opening-round loss to Nevada to beat Pennsylvania. Despite being eliminated from the World Series with Sunday's loss, the positives of the experience of making it there weren't lost on the team. 'My dream was to play with my friends as long as possible,' Kalish said. 'Just being here, learning new things about different cultures, was amazing. We spent a lot of time with the team from Japan, and being here with the international teams and all the other teams was incredible. This experience meant so much. I love and live baseball.' McMahon called the experience of participating in the World Series, 'the best experience I've have had in my whole life.' 'It went by so fast,' McMahon said. 'We've been practicing for a long time. Knowing there are no more games is hard to take in.' Herold said all along that his team wasn't satisfied to 'just be there' for the World Series. But there was plenty to be positive about, even after being eliminated. 'It's an amazing experience, an accomplishment that was our goal,' he said. 'We quickly shifted gears when we reached this level. To play the best teams from across the world and to elevate your game, that is what we did. 'We're also very proud of our community and where we're from. We've had great support, and we're excited to come home and share our experiences with our community.' Details have not been set, but Clarendon Hills officials say there will be some organized celebration for the team when they return.

Bengals Reportedly Listening to Trade Offers on Star DE Trey Hendrickson
As Trey Hendrickson continues his hold-in during training camp this week, the Cincinnati Bengals are listening to trade offers for the star edge rusher, NFL Media reported on Sunday. No deal is imminent, and it's unclear if Hendrickson will wind up playing elsewhere in 2025, NFL Media added in its report. Hendrickson and the Bengals were in a contract dispute for virtually the entire offseason, with Cincinnati allowing him to talk to other teams about a potential deal at one point. However, no deal came to fruition, and the Bengals and Hendrickson have failed to reach an agreement on a new deal as he enters the final year of his contract. With no contract extension coming to fruition this offseason, Hendrickson wasn't shy to share how upset he was with the team. He skipped essentially the Bengals' entire offseason program, including mandatory minicamp, before sitting out the first few days of training camp in July. Hendrickson eventually ended his holdout, returning to the Bengals on July 30. That led to some optimism that a deal could get done soon, but he hasn't practiced with the team at all. As Hendrickson is owed $16 million in the final year of his contract, the contracts for top edge rushers have grown exponentially this offseason. T.J. Watt became the latest to earn a rich deal at the position, agreeing to a three-year, $123 million ($41 million per year) deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason. Micah Parsons seems like a possibility to break that mark as well, but he's also in a contract dispute with his team and requested a trade from the Dallas Cowboys earlier in August. Hendrickson, 30, might not end up breaking Watt's record for the largest contract ever for a non-quarterback, but he has a good case of receiving a deal that would pay him at least $34 million per year, which would make him one of the five highest-paid edge rushers in the league. He has been named a Pro Bowler in all four seasons since he joined the Bengals in 2021. He has also recorded at least 14.0 sacks in three of his first four seasons in Cincinnati, including a league-high 17.5 sacks last season. Additionally, Hendrickson has also been good at generating pressure. He had 83 pressures and was second in pass rush win rate last season (24%). He has also finished in the top 10 in pass rush win rate among edge rushers in all four years he's been with the Bengals. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
