Bohm, Schwarber each hit 2-run homers to power Phillies past Reds, 5-1
Phillies starter Ranger Suárez 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.

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.
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.

João Pedro scores twice vs. boyhood team, Chelsea beats Fluminense 2-0 to reach Club World Cup final
Associated Press EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Joao Pedro scored twice against his boyhood team in his first start for Chelsea, leading the Blues over Fluminense 2-0 Tuesday to assure an all-European Club World Cup final. A 23-year-old who had been at Fluminense from about age 10 until leaving for Watford in 2020, João Pedro scored in the 18th and 56th minutes and refused to celebrate either goal in a sign of respect for his former club. He joined Chelsea from Brighton on July 2. Seeking its second world championship, Chelsea advanced to Sunday's title match against the winner of Wednesday's game between European champion Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid. European teams will win their 12th straight Club World Cup title and 17th in 18 tries, the lone exception a 2012 victory by Brazil's Corinthians over Chelsea, which won in 2021. Fluminense was initially awarded a first-half penalty kick but it was taken away in a video review. Chelsea's Moises Caicedo injured a leg in second-half stoppage time. A crowd of 70,556 was 10-15% short of capacity at MetLife Stadium, where it was 93 degrees (34 Celsius) at kickoff with humidity that made it feel like 104 (40). FIFA cut ticket prices from $473.90 to $13.40 last week. Chelsea went ahead after German Cano lost the ball to João Pedro, and he poked it to Pedro Neto, who dribbled down a flank and crossed. An attempted clearance went to João Pedro, who curled a 20-yard shot inside the far post. João Pedro took two steps to start to celebrate, then stopped and clasped his hands. Chelsea doubled the lead after Facundo Bernal lost the ball just outside the Blues' penalty area to Pedro Neto, who poked the ball to Cole Palmer. He beat three challenges and dished off to Enzo Fernandez, who side-footed a pass to João Pedro. He cut around Ignacio and scored off the underside of the crossbar. Marc Cucurella cleared Hércules' shot off the line in the 27th and French referee François Letexier awarded a penalty kick in the 35th minute when René's free kick struck the left arm of defender Trevoh Chalobah. Letexier reversed his decision in a video review, concluding Chalobah's arm was in a natural position. Key moment Letexier reversing his PK decision at the recommendation of Colombian video assistant referee Nicolas Gallo. Takeaways Chelsea has earned $88,435,000 to $103,815,000 for reaching the final, the amount depending on a participation fee FIFA has not disclosed. ___ AP soccer:

Rafael Devers skipped first base workout with ex-Gold Glover in growing Giants concern
Actions always speak louder than words. Rafael Devers arrived in San Francisco seemingly ready to be a team player and try his hand at first base, but the ex-Red Sox third baseman has apparently not fulfilled that promise, apparently skipping out on a first base workout with a former Giants star. 'They don't yet know what is gonna happen with the player. I was there the second day. Will Clark was there to work on ground balls with him at first base, and Raffy didn't show up,' Red Sox play-by-play announcer Will Flemming said Monday on WEEI. 'So, that's the person that these guys have been dealing with for a long time.' Advertisement Giants third baseman Rafael Devers. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Clark, a six-time All-Star and Gold Glove first baseman with San Francisco in his playing days, gave his version of the story earlier in the week on his 'Deuces Wild' podcast. 'Friday, Saturday, Sunday, he did not come out early, at all. Period, not all. In fact, he didn't even hit on the field,' Clark said. 'Everybody's like, 'Oh my God, I'm so sorry, Will. I'm so sorry.'' Advertisement It appears to be a continuation of the frustrating situation that played out for Devers in Boston this season, as the slugger was asked to give up his spot at the hot corner for newly acquired Alex Bregman and take on designated hitter duties. 'Third base is my position,'' Devers said at Red Sox spring training in February. 'That's what I've played. I don't know what their plans are. I know we had a conversation. I made it clear what my desires were, and yeah, whatever happens from here, I don't know.' Former Giants first baseman Will Clark on his ''Deuces Wild' podcast. No Filter Network Advertisement When Boston later lost first baseman Triston Casas to injury, the team floated the idea of Devers playing first, which he quickly shut down, setting the stage for the blockbuster trade to the San Francisco in June. Devers has played 20 games for the Giants, all as a designated hitter, adding two home runs and nine RBIs. He'll have to pick up the glove sooner or later — Clark is planning to make sure of it. Advertisement 'But Rafael Devers, the next time I'm in San Francisco, your ass will be on the field at first base, just letting you know that,' Clark said. 'Even if I gotta go grab you by the f–king back of the neck and drag your ass out there, you will be at first base.'

Grand Canyon University's move to the Mountain West has been accelerated. Lopes to compete this fall
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Grand Canyon University announced Tuesday its move to the Mountain West Conference will begin immediately. The school in Phoenix was initially scheduled to transition from the Western Athletic Conference to its new league on July 1, 2026. The Mountain West offered an earlier transition, however, allowing the school to compete for conference championships this fall. Advertisement "The addition of Grand Canyon for the 2025-26 academic year is a significant win for the student-athletes at GCU and in the Mountain West,' conference commissioner Gloria Nevarez said in a statement. Grand Canyon will be one of 14 schools competing in the conference next season. The accelerated transition comes after five Mountain West schools announced they intend to depart the conference and join the Pac-12 in 2026. Those schools are Utah State, Boise State, Fresno State, San Diego State and Colorado State. 'Grand Canyon brings elite recruiting, a passionate fanbase, and state-of-the-art facilities, elevating the Mountain West's competitiveness and national profile," Nevarez said. "In a time when the student-athlete experience is of utmost importance, we felt it was in the best interest to allow them to compete for conference championships and the NCAA postseason immediately.' Seventeen varsity teams will compete in the Mountain West, including men's and women's basketball which have been in the national spotlight in recent years during the NCAA Tournament. Grand Canyon's historically successful men's volleyball team was cut in April. Advertisement 'GCU is excited for this opportunity for our student-athletes, the Havocs and our fanbase,' GCU athletic director Jamie Boggs said. 'After winning 76 conference championships, this opportunity best positions GCU to be nationally competitive, and we are excited about the vision and future of the Mountain West." ___ AP college sports:
