Padres' all-star-laden bullpen is lights out in a 4-2 win over nl east-leading phillies
With the Padres leading 3-2, Adam loaded the bases on a leadoff walk to Trea Turner and consecutive one-out singles by Bryce Harper and Alec Bohm. Nick Castellanos hit a dribbler a few feet in front of the plate that Adam flipped with his glove to catcher Elias Díaz to force Turner. Adam then got Max Kepler to pop up to shortstop and celebrated by slapping his glove and clenching his right fist. Jeremiah Estrada (3-4) threw a perfect sixth for the win.
Kyle Schwarber hit his 30th homer, and Castellanos also homered for the Phillies, who took two of three against the Padres last week in Philadelphia. Both came off rookie Ryan Bergert, who returned from the injured list 17 days after taking a 103-mph line drive off his right forearm against Washington. Schwarber's homer with two outs in the third traveled an estimated 425 feet deep into the seats in right field. Castellanos's homer with one out in the second was his 12th. The Padres took a 3-1 lead in the second on three hits and two errors, including one by starter Ranger Suárez (7-3). Fernando Tatis Jr. and Jose Iglesias had RBI hits. The Phillies also loaded the bases with two outs in the fifth before Bryce Harper grounded out to first base.
San Diego's Manny Machado homered leading off the eighth, his 17th. Key moment: Adam's glove flip to preserve the Padres' lead. Key stat: Schwarber joins Mike Schmidt (31 in 1979) as the only Phillies to hit 30 homers before the All-Star break.
Up next: Phillies RHP Zack Wheeler (9-3, 2.17 ERA) and Padres RHP Yu Darvish (0-1, 4.91 ERA) are scheduled to start Saturday.

Police: Home Of Diamondbacks Star Ketel Marte Burglarized During All-star Break
A home belonging to Arizona Diamondbacks star Ketel Marte was burglarized during the Major League Baseball All-Star break, according to police. Scottsdale, Arizona, police confirmed that the department is investigating a high-dollar residential burglary that is believed to have happened on Tuesday night, which is when Marte was playing for the National League in its All-Star game win in Atlanta. Numerous personal items and jewelry were stolen. No one was at home when the burglary occurred. Police said the home is reportedly owned by Marte. Maricopa County Assessor's Office records show Marte owns a home on the block near the investigation. Police say the investigation is ongoing. Marte hit a two-run double in the first inning of the NL's win, which was secured after a home run contest at the end of the game after the score was tied after nine innings. The burglary is the latest in a series of thefts from the homes of high-profile athletes across the country this year. Players have been targeted because of the high-end products believed to be in their homes, and sometimes the thefts occur when they are away with their teams for road games. The FBI has warned sports leagues about crime organizations targeting professional athletes. The NFL and NBA have issued security alerts to athletes. A Seattle man was charged last month in connection with a string of burglaries at the homes of prominent active and retired professional athletes in the area.

Sabbi Scores in 4th Minute, White Adds 1 Goal, 1 Assist as Whitecaps Beat Dynamo 3-0
Emmanuel Sabbi scored a goal in the fourth minute, Sebastian Berhalter added a goal, and the Vancouver Whitecaps beat the Houston Dynamo 3–0 on Wednesday night. Yohei Takaoka had two saves and his MLS-high 10th shutout this season for Vancouver. Mathias Laborda's header from the center of the area off a ball-in played by Édier Ocampo was parried by diving goalkeeper Jonathan Bond, but Sabbi blasted a half-volley into the net to open the scoring. Brian White on the right side of the area played a pass back to a charging Sebastian Berhalter for a first-touch finish from just outside the penalty box in the 42nd. White had a penalty kick blocked by Bond but tapped in his own rebound to cap the scoring in the 56th. The Whitecaps (12-5-5) had lost back-to-back games–by a combined score of 6–0–and four of their last five. Houston (7-11-5) had 56 percent possession, though the Dynamo were outshot 14-13, 7-2 on target.
