TORONTO (AP) --- Alec Bohm hit a three-run home run, Kyle Schwarber and Bryce
Harper also went deep, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Toronto Blue Jays
7-4 on Wednesday night.
Jess Luzardo (5-4) allowed one run in 5 2/3 innings and Jhoan Duran finished
for his 17th save in 18 chances as the Phillies won for the seventh time in
nine games.
Phillies outfielder Adolis Garca left in the seventh after making consecutive
throws to home plate on sacrifice flies. Steward Berroa came on for Garca, who
was diagnosed with a pulled muscle in his shoulder.
Bohm and Harper both homered off Max Scherzer (1-4), who allowed five runs and
five hits in 3 1/3 innings. Bohm's homer was his eighth and Harper's solo shot
was his 15th.
Schwarber greeted Mason Fluharty with a two-run homer, his baseball-leading
24th.
Scherzer reached 3,500 career strikeouts when he caught Schwarber looking at an
86 mph change-up to begin the game. Scherzer walked three and struck out four
in 3 1/3 innings, pushing his career total to 3,503. He allowed five runs and
five hits.
The three-time Cy Young Award winner and eight-time All-Star is the 11th
pitcher in big league history with 3,500 strikeouts.
Luzardo allowed four hits, walked four and struck out eight. The Phillies have
won each of his past four starts.
Brandon Valenzuela chased Luzardo with an RBI single in the sixth. Jonathan
Bowlan struck out Andrs Gimnez to strand runners at the corners.
Toronto activated Scherzer off the 15-day injured list before the game. He'd
been out since April 24 because of right forearm tendinitis and left ankle
inflammation.
Up next
Phillies: RHP Andrew Painter (1-7, 6.21 ERA) is scheduled to start Friday
against Milwaukee RHP Jacob Misiorowski (7-2, 1.50).
Blue Jays: Toronto had not named a starter for Friday's game against the
Yankees. LHP Ryan Weathers (2-4, 3.86 ERA) is scheduled for New York.
