Schwarber hits his 42nd homer in a 4-run 8th inning as the Phillies rally past the Reds
CINCINNATI (AP) — Kyle Schwarber hit his 42nd homer of the season, a two-run shot that highlighted a four-run eighth inning, as the NL East-leading Philadelphia Phillies rallied to beat the Cincinnati Reds 4-1 Monday night, extending their winning streak to four games. 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. YANKEES 6, TWINS 2 NEW YORK (AP) — Will Warren gave up three hits and two runs in 6 2/3 innings to become the first New York starting pitcher to get an out in the seventh inning in a month in a win over Minnesota. Warren (7-5), who allowed homers to Byron Buxton and Trevor Larnach, struck out seven and walked none before Luke Weaver and David Bednar finished off New York's 23rd win in its last 30 regular-season meetings with Minnesota. Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered in the eighth after Trent Grisham and Aaron Judge hit RBI singles in the seventh. CARDINALS 3, ROCKIES 2 ST. LOUIS (AP) — Brendan Donovan hit a go-ahead two-run double in the eighth inning, Miles Mikolas didn't give up a hit through 5 1/3 innings, and St. Louis sent Colorado to their eighth straight loss. Juan Mejia (1-1) failed to hold a 2-1 lead in the eighth inning, while Kyle Leahy (3-1) pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings after Mikolas went 6 2/3 innings, his longest outing of the season. Mikolas was positioned for a loss after Warming Bernabel and Brenton Doyle drove in runs in the seventh inning to give the Rockies a 2-1 lead. Tyler Freeman broke up Mikolas' no-hit bid in the sixth inning. He gave up four hits, a walk and struck out three. Mikolas lost his shot at a win after Jordan Beck bunted his way on and advanced to second on Nolan Gorman's throwing error. Doyle drove home Mickey Moniak to put the Rockies ahead. Chase Dollander allowed one run through five innings, the first Rockies starter since Aug. 2 to allow fewer than five runs. BREWERS 7, PIRATES 1 MILWAUKEE (AP) — Brice Turang hit his first career leadoff home run, Jose Quintana allowed three hits over six solid innings and Milwaukee extended their winning streak to 10 games with a win over Pittsburgh. Quintana (10-4) struck out three and walked one as the Brewers (74-44) improved to 25-4 over the last 29 games, including 13-1 in the last 14. The only real hiccup was Joey Bart's home run in the third. Turang sent a sinker from Pirates starter Andrew Heaney over the wall in left center. Christian Yelich opened the third with a solo home run, RBI singles from Sal Frelick and Brandon Lockridge and an unearned run on Bart's throwing error capped the third inning. Grant Anderson held the Pirates without a hit in the seventh and eighth. Shelby Miller pitched a 1-2-3 ninth. ROYALS 7, NATIONALS 4 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Salvadore Perez and Kyle Isbel hit two-run homers in the sixth inning and Kansas City beat Washington. Perez homered off rookie Cade Cavalli after Maikel Garcia drew a leadoff walk, tying the game at 4. Adam Frazier singled, chasing Cavalli, and Jackson Rutledge (1-2) entered and retired Randal Grichuk on a double-play grounder. Nick Loftin had a two-out single before scoring on Isbel's fourth homer. Perez's homer was his 21st. James Wood walked leading off the first against Bailey Falter in his home debut for the Royals after being acquired from the Pirates at the trade deadline. Josh Bell hit his 15th homer — a 422-foot, two-out shot to left-center — to give the Nationals a 2-0 lead. Garcia, Perez and Frazier had consecutive singles to start the second for the Royals' first run. Loftin's sacrifice fly tied it 2-all. Falter left a tie game after four innings and 76 pitches. Wood singled off Daniel Lynch IV (4-2) leading off the fifth and Paul DeJong hit his fourth homer one out later to put the Nationals up 4-2. Mike Yastrzemski added a run in the eighth with a sac fly. Frazier finished 3 for 4 and Carlos Estévez pitched the ninth for his 30th save.

Miles Mikolas' replacement named Cardinals' top trade deadline need
The St. Louis Cardinals, heading into the final month before the MLB trade deadline, have to resolve their starting rotation issues. Whether it's to compete for this season, or prepare for the future, St. Louis needs ot make some changes soon. According to writer Jason Foster, the Cardinals' biggest need is help for the starting rotation. One of the easiest ways to address the rotation need is by finding a replacement for Miles Mikolas. Advertisement "Erick Fedde and Miles Mikolas both had two consecutive starts recently in which they allowed six or more earned runs." Foster wrote. "So, rotation help should be the priority for a team that's still hanging in the NL Wild Card race." Even though there are calls for the Cardinals to sell off a lot of their top assets, the team is in decent shape to contend for a Wild Card spot in the NL. Sitting just 1.5 games back, the Cardinals are by no means out of the postseason hunt. But to compete for such a spot, the Cardinals need to part ways with both Mikolas and Fedde. Of the two, Fedde is the most likely to be moved, as he could be traded at the deadline for prospects or as part of a deal for a new starter. MORE: Cardinals' Oli Marmol breaks silence on Erick Fedde's future in St. Louis Advertisement Mikolas, on the other hand, is a lot more trouble. He has a full no-trade clause, and he's expected to invoke it for any trade he's a part of. To move on from Mikolas, the Cardinals will have to either release him or try and convince him to accept a trade. The easier path is, of course, to just cut ties with him. After his start, where he allowed six home runs and raised his season ERA to 5.26, moving on from him won't be much of an issue. With Michael McGreevy waiting in the wings in Triple-A, the Cardinals can easily get rid of one of those starters without losing sleep. Moving on from the second will be more of a challenge, and the Cardinals will need a starter outside the organization. Fortunately, there are plenty of starters expected to be on the trade block at this year's trade deadline, with former Cardinal Sandy Alcantara one of the top options for St. Louis. Regardless of who they target, the Cardinals need to add a starter and move on from Mikolas at this year's MLB trade deadline. Advertisement MORE MLB NEWS:

Cardinals aim to spark extended run vs. Cubs
The July 31 trade deadline will be looming large when the visiting St. Louis Cardinals begin a three-game series against the rival Chicago Cubs on Friday. Cardinals aim to spark extended run vs. Cubs Chicago leads the National League Central by four games over the second-place Milwaukee Brewers, while St. Louis is 5 1/2 games out in the division and sits in a three-way tie for the third NL wild-card spot. The Cubs completed a three-game sweep of the Cleveland Guardians with a 1-0 win on Thursday. Matt Shaw delivered a walk-off sacrifice fly in the 10th inning to help Chicago prevail for the sixth time in the past eight games. "It's just so much fun," Shaw said in a postgame interview. "We have a great team, and this is awesome." St. Louis had an off day on Thursday after being shut out in three consecutive games while being swept by the Pittsburgh Pirates. "Obviously the series is frustrating, but it's just one little blip on the radar of 162 ," St. Louis second baseman Brendan Donovan said. "So, is it frustrating? Absolutely. But they just beat us. They're playing good ball. We were playing good ball and they shut us down, so we're on to Chicago." The Friday series opener features a pair of right-handers as the Cardinals' Miles Mikolas faces Chicago's Colin Rea . Mikolas, 36, allowed six runs in four innings during a no-decision against the Guardians on Saturday. Mikolas, who owns a 6.90 ERA with 43 hits allowed across 30 innings over his past six starts, emphasized the importance of the series with the trade deadline fast approaching. "To know if this series goes well, maybe you're in the situation where you're looking to make that good hard push," he said. "And if things don't go well, you could be one of those teams looking to bring those young guys up. Can definitely go either way. ... Makes each game feel a little more important." Nico Hoerner is 13-for-33 and Ian Happ is 13-for-40 against Mikolas, who is 6-6 with a 3.17 ERA in 23 career games vs. the Cubs. Rea, 35, allowed two runs over five innings in a 12-3 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday. He bounced back after giving up four homers, 11 hits and seven runs in 5 1/3 innings against the Seattle Mariners during his previous start. Nolan Arenado is 1-for-10 against Rea, who is 1-3 with a 4.37 ERA in nine career games against St. Louis. Chicago will have two National League starters in the All-Star Game at Atlanta on July 15. Center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong received the honor in his second full season with Chicago. He is batting .265 with 21 homers, 64 RBIs and 26 stolen bases. "Of course he's exceeded expectations," Cubs manager Craig Counsell said. "He's having a wonderful season, and we're all happy for him that he got this recognition. It's happened really fast." Crow-Armstrong will be joined at the All-Star Game by right fielder Kyle Tucker, who has been named a starter for the first time in his career. The four-time All-Star is batting .287 with 17 homers, 52 RBIs and 21 stolen bases during his first season with the Cubs.
