Realmuto doubles in Harper in the 8th as the phillies beat the padres 2-1
J.T. Realmuto doubled in Bryce Harper with the go-ahead run with two outs in the eighth inning, and Cristopher Sánchez was impressive for 7 1/3 innings as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the San Diego Padres 2-1 on Sunday to prevent a three-game sweep. Sánchez (8-2) got a nice ovation from several hundred Phillies fans sitting behind the third-base dugout after manager Rob Thomson lifted him with one out in the eighth. He held the Padres to one run and six hits while striking out six and walking three. With the Padres ceding most of the left side of the infield and All-Star lefty reliever Adrian Morejon (7-4) pitching, the left-handed Harper sent a hard shot a few feet inside the third base line that rolled into left field. David Morgan came on and struck out Nick Castellanos before Realmuto doubled into the gap in left-center to bring in Harper. Morgan shouted into his glove in frustration. Harper scored both Phillies runs, the first one coming in the first when the Padres committed two errors. He drew a two-out walk off Nick Pivetta, advanced on All-Star third baseman Manny Machados throwing error and Realmutos infield single, and scored on first baseman Luis Arraezs throwing error. The Padres tied it in the sixth when Jose Iglesias singled off the glove of diving second baseman Bryson Stott to bring in Machado. Pivetta struck out eight and allowed one unearned run and three hits in 6 2/3 innings with two walks. Key moment: After intentionally walking All-Star Fernando Tatis Jr. to put two runners on in the ninth, former Padres reliever Matt Strahm got Arraez to line out to left for his sixth save. Key stat: The teams split the season series 3-3 with each going 2-1 at home. Up next: The Phillies open a three-game home series against the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night. The Padres start a three-game series at Washington on Friday night.

Diamondbacks top angels 5-1 to salvage final game of series
Jose Herrera hit a two-run double in a four-run fourth inning, and the Arizona Diamondbacks avoided a three-game sweep with a 5-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday. Blaze Alexander had two hits as the bottom of the Diamondbacks order was productive in a positive result just before the All-Star break. Alexander was batting eighth and Herrera ninth for Arizona, which won for just the fourth time in its past 12 games. Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly (8-5) overcame early control trouble to give up one run and one hit over five innings. He had six strikeouts, with two of his four walks to the first three Angels batters of the game. Mike Trout drove in a run for the Angels, who fell short in their bid to earn a third home series sweep since the start of June. Los Angeles right-hander Jose Soriano (6-7) gave up five runs, but just one was earned over five innings with three walks. The Angels led 1-0 after Trout's RBI single in the third inning. The Diamondbacks moved in front 4-1 in the fourth inning on a game-tying grounder from Eugenio Suarez, an RBI double from Alexander, and Herrera's two-run double. Suarez added an RBI double in the fifth. Key moment: With runners at first and second and nobody out for the Diamondbacks in the fourth, Angels third baseman Yoan Moncada misplayed Suarez's grounder to his left, opening the door for the four-run inning. Moncada, who has been bothered with knee soreness, was replaced on defense in the sixth inning by Kevin Newman. Key stat: Kelly is 5-1 with a 2.67 ERA in his 11 starts that have come immediately after an Arizona loss, with opponents batting under .200 in those games. Up next: Both teams return to action Friday after the All-Star break: Arizona is home to the St. Louis Cardinals; Los Angeles is at Philadelphia.

Freddie Freeman's bloop single in 11th starts winning rally as Dodgers beat Giants 5-2
Freddie Freeman blooped a single into shallow right-center with two outs in the 11th inning to score James Outman for the go-ahead run, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Francisco Giants 5-2 on Sunday for a winning series one day after snapping a season-worst seven-game losing streak. Spencer Bivens (2-3) intentionally walked Shohei Ohtani to start the 11th and retired Mookie Betts and Will Smith before Freeman delivered with a ball that dropped between three Giants. Teoscar Hernández then beat out an infield single for an insurance run, and Andy Pages followed with an RBI single. Ben Casparius (7-3) got Willy Adames to ground out ending the 10th, then pitched a perfect 11th for the win. Pinch-hitter Luis Matos hit a tying two-run homer in the ninth after Matt Chapmans one-out single started the rally against Tanner Scott, who blew his seventh save in 26 opportunities. Miguel Rojas homered, and Freeman had an early RBI double that had Los Angeles ahead until the ninth. Dodgers starter and first-time All-Star Yoshinobu Yamamoto struck out seven over seven innings and allowed three hits. The defending World Series champion Dodgers (58-39) entered the All-Star break atop the NL West after finishing the first half with nine straight games against clubs with winning records. Manager Dave Roberts and his staff head to manage the NL All-Stars in Atlanta, where he said Sunday he plans to pitch left-hander Clayton Kershaw early in what could be his final Midsummer Classic. Los Angeles had done just enough against Giants lefty Robbie Ray in a game featuring just 11 total hits. Key play: Giants left fielder Heliot Ramos made a leaping catch on the wall to rob Ohtani of an extra-base hit to start the game. Ohtani walked in the fourth, singled in the fifth, and flied out in the eighth. Key stat: San Francisco (52-45) reached the break with 52 wins for the fifth time over the last 20 seasons – also doing so when it won the NL West with a franchise-best 107 victories in 2021, 2016, 2014, and 2011. Up next: Neither club had set its rotation for after the All-Star break when the Dodgers host Milwaukee to begin a six-game homestand on Friday, and the Giants visit Toronto.
