Harper homers in return, Turner goes deep twice as Phillies use 6-run 1st to beat Toronto Blue Jays 8-3
Bryce Harper homered in his first at-bat following a five-game absence, Trea Turner went deep twice and the Philadelphia Phillies scored six runs in the first inning Tuesday night on the way to an 8-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays that ended a four-game skid. Harper was back in action after being sidelined with a bruised right elbow after being hit by a pitch. The Phillies went 1-4 without the slugger and fell out of first place in the NL East. Against the Blue Jays, Harper went 1 for 3 with two walks and scored twice. Left-hander Cristopher Sánchez (5-1) allowed one run in six innings to win for the first time since May 7. Addison Barger hit a two-run home run off Max Lazar, and Davis Schneider hit a solo shot off Sánchez, but Toronto had its five-game winning streak halted. Barger has homered in four straight games, raising his season total to six. Blue Jays right-hander Bowden Francis (2-7) matched a career-worst by allowing seven runs, six earned, in 1 2/3 innings. Bryson Stott drew a leadoff walk and Turner followed with a two-run homer. Harper piled on with a 394-foot drive, his ninth. It was the third time the Phillies have hit back-to-back homers. Max Kepler's RBI single and Stott's two-run hit capped the six-run inning, which matched Philadelphia's biggest of the season. Turner added a solo homer, his seventh, off Erik Swanson in the eighth inning. It was Turner's first multi-homer game of the season and the 18th of his career. Back at third base after filling in for Harper at first, Alec Bohm made a diving stop on George Springer's grounder in the third, then threw from one knee to get the out. The Phillies have won 14 of 16 on the road. Blue Jays RHP José Berríos (2-2, 3.86 ERA) is scheduled to start Wednesday against Phillies RHP Mick Abel (1-0, 0.00).

Phillies and Braves set for doubleheader after rainout. Harper gets extra day off after being hit
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The second game of a three-game series between the Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves was postponed Wednesday because of rain and was rescheduled as part of a day-night doubleheader on Thursday. The Phillies will host Atlanta in the first game at 1:05 p.m., and the originally scheduled game remains at 6:45 p.m. at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies will send left-hander Cristopher Sánchez (4-1, 3.17 ERA) to the mound in the first game and righty Zack Wheeler (6-1, 2.42 ERA) in the second. The Braves will send right-hander AJ Smith-Shawver (3-2, 3.67 ERA) to the mound in the first game and 2024 NL Cy Young Award winner Chris Sale (2-3, 3.36 ERA) to the mound in the second game. Sale won pitching's top prize last season while Wheeler was runner-up. The Phillies beat Atlanta 2-0 on Tuesday and have won 10 of 11 games overall to lead the NL East. They survived a scare when star slugger Bryce Harper left in the first inning after he was hit near the right elbow by a 95.3 mph fastball from Braves starter Spencer Strider. Harper sustained a bruise, and an X-ray was negative, the Phillies said. Manager Rob Thomson said after the game Harper was 'in a lot of pain' after he was hit and would be evaluated again Wednesday morning. The Phillies never announced a lineup ahead of the rainout, and the team said an update was expected Thursday. ___
