Bohm, Schwarber each hit 2-run homers to power Phillies past Reds, 5-1
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Alec Bohm and Kyle Schwarber each hit two-run homers and Edmundo Sosa added a solo shot to lift the Philadelphia Phillies to a 5-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday.
Phillies starter Ranger Suarez was pulled by manager Rob Thomson after throwing just 80 pitches in five innings. He struck out six and lowered his ERA to 1.99, putting the left-hander in prime position to make his second straight All-Star team.
Suárez allowed seven earned runs in his first start of the season, and has now allowed only 11 over his last 11 starts. The circumstances of his early exit were not immediately known, Suárez had pitched at least seven innings in each of his last five starts and thrown at least six innings in all but his first start of the year.
Bohm hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning off Reds starter Nick Lodolo (5-6) for a 3-1 lead and Schwarber connected on his 27th homer of the year in the eighth to make it 5-1.
Will Benson hit a solo homer off Suárez for the Reds in the fifth, and Sosa followed with a solo shot in the bottom of half of the inning off Lodolo to make it 1-1.
Lodolo struck out eight and allowed three runs over six innings.
Jordan Romano (1-3) earned the win and was the first of four Phillies relievers to each toss a scoreless inning. Key moment
Cincinnati's first two runners reached in the eighth against Orion Kerkering. Spencer Steer grounded into a double play off the Phillies reliever and Noelvi Marte was retired on a comebacker to end the threat. Key stat
Trea Turner had two hits to add to his NL-best total with 108. He also leads the league in multi-hit games with 31. Up next
The Reds send Chase Burns (0-1, 13.50 ERA) to the mound Sunday against Phillies RHP Zack Wheeler (8-3, 2.27 ERA).

2025 WNBA trade deadline: Players on the move, grades for every deal
The 2025 WNBA trade deadline is quickly approaching, and there are several players to monitor as movement heats up before the deadline on Thursday, Aug. 7. Only a couple of players have moved so far with DiJonai Carrington, last year's Most Improved Player, going to the 2024 WNBA runner-up Minnesota Lynx and 2025 All-Star Brittney Sykes to the Seattle Storm. Here are a few players that could move and here's a round up of the 2025 WNBA trade deadline deals so far: Aug. 5: Seattle Storm trade for Washington Mystics guard Brittney Sykes Storm get: Mystics get: Sykes is averaging 15.4 points, 4.3 assists and 1.2 steals per game, while shooting 31.8% from beyond the arc. The 5-foot-9 guard received her first All-Star selection this season and has four WNBA all-defensive team selections during her nine-year career, which also includes stints with the Atlanta Dream and Los Angeles Sparks. She signed with the Mystics as a free agent ahead of the 2023 season. Read more about the trade here. Adding Sykes to Seattle does a few things. It gives the Storm a versatile defender who plays larger than they are, plus a player who can create for themselves and others. Sykes will all but certainly be inserted into the starting rotation, and that should be a very nice one-two punch with Wheeler. Additionally, Seattle now has fewer excuses not to succeed. Heading into next season, the Mystics now have three first-round picks. That's not including the other selections they have in the 2026 WNBA draft. Essentially, Washington would have plenty of options to choose from, including Notre Dame guard Olivia Miles, UCLA Bruins center Lauren Betts and UConn Huskies guard Azzi Fudd. READ MORE: Full Sykes trade grades from Meghan L. Hall Aug. 3: Minnesota Lynx trade for Dallas Wings guard DiJonai Carrington Lynx get: Wings get: It is the second trade in a matter of months for Carrington, who was traded to the Wings from the Connecticut Sun back in February. The former second-round pick out of Baylor is averaging 10.4 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists this season. Read more about the trade here. Bringing in Carrington does a few things for Reeve's squad. First, it adds valuable guard and wing depth. Carrington is more comfortable as a wing, but could take over point guard duties if necessary. She can even start if they need her to, which is huge. With that in mind, veteran Kayla McBride has to be jumping for joy right now. Carrington will fit nicely as depth behind her, and because she's an excellent defender, it takes a lot more pressure off McBride to have to be everything all at once. Guard Diamond Miller now has a new place to get more minutes and should thrive with the Wings. Veteran Karlie Samuelson is out for the season with an injury, but once healthy, there's a chance she could add quality minutes, too. Also, future draft stock never hurts. The Wings are somewhat leaning into a soft rebuild and should continue making moves for the future. READ MORE: Full Carrington trade grades from Meghan L. Hall When is the trade deadline? The 2025 WNBA trade deadline is at 3 p.m. ET Thursday, Aug. 7. After that, teams cannot make trades for the remainder of the season. Why aren't many trades made in the WNBA? The trade deadline in the WNBA is not traditionally as busy as those in the NFL, NBA or MLB. The WNBA's hard salary cap ($1,507,100 per team) has no flexibility, meaning a team can't go over. That means team have to be able to make the money work in any trade dollar for dollar. Even with addition of the Golden State Valkyries, there are only 13 teams with 12 players each in the league. With fewer players, there are fewer trades.

Mets took big swing for Byron Buxton at trade deadline — but were shut down
Access the Mets beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Mike Puma about the inside buzz on the Mets. Try it free The Mets upgraded in center field by trading for Cedric Mullins at the trade deadline, but not before swinging for the fences. The franchise checked in with Byron Buxton's agent, B.B. Abbott, to see if the Twins' superstar outfielder would waive his no-trade clause and accept a move out of Minnesota, according to a report from The Athletic. Advertisement Buxton and Abbott were said to have 'routinely waved off interested clubs in July' as the longtime Twin desired to stay in Minnesota, which he stated over the All-Star break. 3 Minnesota Twins' Byron Buxton circles the bases after hitting a home run off of Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Shohei Ohtani during the first inning of a baseball game in Los Angeles on Monday, July 21, 2025. AP 'It's always good to be wanted,' Buxton said during a press conference in Atlanta. 'Don't get me wrong. But the only place I want is Minnesota. All of my choices are easy. I ain't got but one place on my mind. That's how it'll be.' Advertisement Buxton, 31, is enjoying one of the best seasons of his career, hitting .282/.343/.561 with 23 home runs and 17 stolen bases and excellent defense in center field. He's spent his entire big league career with the Twins after being selected first overall in the 2012 MLB Draft. The two-time All-Star was thought of as a potential trade candidate after the Twins' season went sideways before he made his stance on his no-trade clause clear in mid-July. At least six teams inquired with Abbott about Buxton, The Athletic added, although the Mets and Braves reportedly showed the most interest.

Charles Wenzelberg/New York Post 3 Minnesota Twins' Byron Buxton hits a double against the Tampa Bay Rays in the seventh inning on Friday, July 4, 2025, in Minneapolis. AP The Mets instead pivoted to Mullins and improving their bullpen, trading for Tyler Rogers, Ryan Helsley and Gregory Soto. The Twins were one of the busiest teams at the deadline, trading 10 active Major League players from their roster in seven deals, including sending Carlos Correa back to Houston.
