Jul 9, 2025; San Francisco, California, USA; Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo (44) delivers a pitch against the San Francisco Giants during the first inning at Oracle Park. Mandatory Credit: D. Ross Cameron-Imagn Images Bryce Harper collected three doubles and a home run, Kyle Schwarber belted his 29th homer of the season, left-hander Jesus Luzardo threw seven shutout innings and the Philadelphia Phillies salvaged one win in their three-game road series against the San Francisco Giants with a 13-0 shellacking Wednesday afternoon.
J.T. Realmuto had a double, two singles, two RBIs and two runs scored, while Alec Bohm and Nick Castellanos each had two hits and scored twice, helping the Phillies rebound from a potentially demoralizing walk-off loss on a game-ending, inside-the-park home run Tuesday night.
Harper homered off Justin Verlander (0-7) in the fourth inning, then doubled in the sixth and twice in a seven-run eighth, highlighting a 17-hit attack. The homer was his 10th of the season.
Harper had a chance to pad his numbers when he came to the plate against Mike Yastrzemski with two on and two out in the ninth, but fouled out to third base to complete a 4-for-6 day with one RBI and three runs scored. The four-hit game was his first of the season, while the three-double effort was just the 10th in the majors this year.
The last time someone had a homer and three doubles in the same game was last July, when Vladimir Guerrero Jr. did it against the Baltimore Orioles. No member of the Phillies had accomplished the feat since Aaron Rowand in July of 2007.
Verlander was denied a win for the 15th consecutive start this season, but didn’t pitch as poorly as the final score might indicate. He allowed four runs and seven hits in six innings, but only two of the runs were earned. He didn’t walk anybody and struck out seven.
Seeking a fifth consecutive win, the Giants trailed just 4-0 until the eighth, when Schwarber’s three-run homer capped a 12-batter inning.
Luzardo (8-5), bombed for six runs (five earned) in two innings in his previous start against the Cincinnati Reds, limited the Giants to three singles in his seven innings. He walked one and struck out seven.
Seth Johnson and Joe Ross added a single scoreless inning apiece to complete Philadelphia’s ninth shutout of the season.
Brandon Marsh was a fifth Phillie with multiple hits with a pair of singles as the visitors equalled their season high for runs en route to their third win in seven games against the Giants this year.
Wilmer Flores had two of San Francisco’s four hits – both singles.

NBA Cup live updates: Thunder leading Suns; Spurs-Lakers up later
Few double-digit leads in the NBA seem safe these days. Still, it feels like a long time since I’ve seen a first half take a 180-degree turn the way Tuesday night’s Heat-Magic quarterfinal did.Miami stormed to a 15-0 lead, and Orlando could not generate any stops or turnovers and, therefore, could not push forward in transition. If the last few seasons have taught the NBA nothing else about the Magic (other than how hard the team plays and its physicality, especially on defense), it’s that their offense has been weak when opponents force them to play in the half-court.Orlando no doubt initially felt the absence of its best two-way player, Franz Wagner, who suffered a left high-ankle sprain Sunday. Without Wagner, the Magic looked rudderless … at first.What changed?The Magic finally ramped up their defense, keyed by Jonathan Isaac off […]
Ex-Michigan coach Sherrone Moore detained by police hours after firing, per report

Michigan coaching candidates: Kalen DeBoer, Marcus Freeman among options after sudden Sherrone Moore firing
As soon as it seemed like the college football coaching carousel was finally slowing down, Michigan announced it had fired Sherrone Moore for cause after an investigation revealed an inappropriate relationship with a staffer. The Wolverines becoming a late entry to the coaching search fray throws a real wrench in this offseason. We saw a ton of coaches sign fresh contract extensions after turning down openings at Penn State, Florida and Auburn, but Michigan may be a different beast. It is one of the best jobs in the country in terms of resources, and teams with a top-tier coach they haven't locked into an extension already may have to get ready to fight to keep their coach in town. Michigan hired Moore to keep things on track after Jim Harbaugh left for the NFL, but they never quite reached those same heights, […]
David Pastrnak’s return ignites Bruins as Jets fight slump
Dec 9, 2025; St. Louis, Missouri, USA; Boston Bruins right wing David Pastrnak (88) shoots against the St. Louis Blues during the first period at Enterprise Center. Mandatory Credit: Jeff Curry-Imagn Images The Boston Bruins go for their second straight win since David Pastrnak's return from injury and fourth in a row overall when they continue a three-game road swing through the Central Division with a Thursday night visit to the Winnipeg Jets. The 29-year-old Pastrnak showed no ill effects from a five-game injury absence in the Bruins' 5-2 win Tuesday over former coach Jim Montgomery's St. Louis Blues, recording three assists, three shots and a plus-2 rating while skating alongside 23-year-old Marat Khusnutdinov and 21-year-old Fraser Minten (two goals) on the third line. "Just three young kids playing together," Pastrnak joked. "It was fun." Pastrnak's return meant additional lineup […]
NFL predictions: How Week 15 Thursday Night Football matchup vs. Falcons impacts Buccaneers’ playoff chances
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers won five of their first six games of the 2025 NFL season and gave the impression that they would cruise to their fifth consecutive NFL South title and the 11th division crown in franchise history. But they've lost five of their last seven contests and are clinging to first place, with a pair of crucial matchups against the Carolina Panthers remaining on their schedule.Before worrying about those showdowns, Tampa Bay (7-6) must take care of business against another division rival as it opens Week 15 by hosting the Atlanta Falcons (4-9) at 8:15 p.m. ET on Thursday Night Football at Raymond James Stadium. The Buccaneers dropped a 24-20 decision to the lowly New Orleans Saints at home last week and are tied for first place in the NFC South with the Panthers (7-6), who upset the […]
Sherrone Moore buyout: What’s left on the Michigan coach’s contract after he was fired ‘for cause’
Imagn Images Sherrone Moore's tenure as Michigan's coach came to an abrupt end on Wednesday after he was fired. Moore was terminated for cause by the school after an internal investigation concluded the Wolverines' coach had engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. "Sherrone Moore has been terminated, with cause, effective immediately," Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel said in a statement. "Following a university investigation, credible evidence was found that Coach Moore engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. This conduct constitutes a clear violation of University policy, and UM maintains zero tolerance for such behavior."Moore was tabbed Michigan's coach at the conclusion of the 2023 season after Jim Harbaugh departed to coach the Los Angeles Chargers. He finished 16-8 (11-6 in Big Ten play) in his two seasons with the program. Moore had been on Michigan's […]
