Schwarber's grand slam, Harper's homer lead Phillies to 9-5 win over Angels
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Kyle Schwarber hit a grand slam in the sixth inning and Bryce Harper capped the scoring with a two-run homer in the eighth, carrying the Philadelphia Phillies to a 9-5 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday night. Schwarber's shot to right field off reliever José Fermin was his eighth career grand slam and 32nd homer of the season. Taylor Ward and Jo Adell hit back-to-back home runs for the Angels in the fourth inning for a 3-1 lead that wouldn't stand after Los Angeles starter Yusei Kikuchi left after five solid innings. The Phillies ruined what could have been a big inning in the first, when Schwarber and Trea Turner got caught in rundowns and were tagged out on the same grounder by Harper. Nick Castellanos followed that with a two-out, RBI single for a 1-0 lead. Los Angeles turned it around in the fourth on Ward's and Adell's home runs. Zach Neto also plated a run with a single that inning but the Angels left the bases loaded. The Phillies got a run back on Turner's RBI single in the fifth. Yoan Moncada hit a home run in the sixth to restore a two-run Los Angeles lead. Seth Johnson (1-0) struck out two in one inning of work. Sam Bachman (2-3) took the loss. Key moment Schwarber's 32nd homer in the sixth moved him into a tie for second in the National League with the Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani. Arizona's Eugenio Suárez hit two home runs Saturday, which gave him a league-leading 33. Key stat Harper has gone 12 for 24 over the past six games, with seven doubles and four home runs.

England dominates US in lightning-delayed rugby match
WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) — The United States brought the lightning and England created all the flash as it completed its Americas tour by cruising to a 40-5 win on Saturday. England's first game in the U.S. in 24 years was delayed for an hour by lightning in the area, and for another 40 minutes during the first half. It didn't help the Eagles as England, depleted of its British and Irish Lions touring Australia, racked up six tries and its biggest win over the U.S. in six years. After wins in Argentina by 35-12 and 22-17, England extended its longest winning streak to seven matches under coach Steve Borthwick. While U.S. flyhalf Chris Hilsenbeck was in the sin-bin for a deliberate knock-on, England drove hooker Curtis Langdon over the try-line and arrowed center Luke Northmore between the posts. Around the delay in the first half, England had two tries ruled out before wing Cadan Murley cut inside three defenders to score on halftime for 19-0. England's desire to play at pace was hit and miss. Scrumhalf Jack van Poortvliet finished a counterattack from halfway featuring Northmore, and his replacement Harry Randall finished a great break engineered by Ben Curry and Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, back after a two-game suspension. ___
