PHILADELPHIA — Bryce Harper hit an inside-the-park home run, three Philadelphia teammates went deep and Aaron Nola pitched seven strong innings to lead the Phillies to a 10-4 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Monday night in a matchup of teams leading the National League wild-card race.

Kyle Schwarber, Alec Bohm and Edmundo Sosa also homered for the Phillies, who moved three games ahead of the Giants in the wild-card standings.

Nola (11-8) was hit hard early before settling down. He wound up allowing two runs on seven hits with five strikeouts and a walk.

Harper electrified the crowd of 36,274 in the fifth inning. His drive off Sean Hjelle caromed hard off the wall in left-center. When center fielder Wade Meckler finally chased down the ball in right-center, he twice failed to pick it up before throwing it toward home. It likely would’ve taken a perfect toss and relay to nab the speedy Harper.

It was Harper’s 10th homer of the season and 295th career shot for the two-time NL MVP, whose power stroke has been returning the last two months after offseason Tommy John surgery on his right elbow.

INTERLEAGUE

CUBS 7, TIGERS 6: Yan Gomes and Nick Madrigal hit doubles in the ninth inning and visiting Chicago held on to beat Detroit.

The Cubs squandered a three-run lead in the eighth and quickly went back ahead.

Gomes led off the next inning with a double and Madrigal followed with an RBI double. Madrigal later scored to put Chicago ahead by two, an extra run it needed after Matt Vierling’s single pulled Detroit within a run.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

PIRATES 11, CARDINALS 1: Joshua Palacios hit a three-run home run and had a career-high five RBI as Pittsburgh sent visiting St. Louis to its fifth loss in six games.

METS 10, BRAVES 4: DJ Stewart, Rafael Ortega and Francisco Lindor homered as visiting New York won for the seventh time in nine games, despite two homers by Atlanta’s Marcell Ozuna.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

MARINERS 14, WHITE SOX 2: Cal Raleigh homered twice and drove in six runs, and visiting Seattle beat Chicago for its seventh straight victory.

Playing without Julio Rodríguez, who was rested amid a torrid stretch at the plate, Seattle used a fast start to improve to 32-13 since July 1. Luis Castillo (10-7) pitched seven innings of one-run ball in his third consecutive win.

NOTES

POSTPONEMENTS: The Los Angeles Angels’ game against the Cincinnati Reds was been postponed due to the effects of Tropical Storm Hilary.

The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Wednesday.

Southern California’s first tropical storm in 84 years dropped several inches of rain across the Los Angeles area on Sunday. The rain had stopped by Monday morning, but Angel Stadium was too wet to play, according to the Angels.

The Angels already had moved up their game scheduled for Sunday against Tampa Bay to a Saturday doubleheader.

About 30 miles up the Interstate 5 freeway, the Los Angeles Dodgers posted photos on social media Monday showing Dodger Stadium and its parking lots looking dry in the sunshine. The stadium went viral on social media after photos taken from above on Sunday appeared to show its parking lots completely flooded.

The Dodgers are on the road until next Monday, Aug. 28. They also moved up a scheduled home game on Sunday for a Saturday doubleheader instead.

GUARDIANS: Eric Haase’s baseball journey has brought him back to Cleveland.

The Guardians claimed the veteran catcher off waivers, two days after he was released by the Detroit Tigers. That’s the team he grew up rooting for in Michigan and played on for four seasons.

The 30-year-old Haase broke in with Cleveland, which drafted him 2011. He made his debut for the club in 2018 and played two seasons for the Guardians before being traded.

The Tigers designated him for assignment Saturday during their four-game series in Cleveland after Haase struggled at the plate this season.

BRAVES: The Atlanta Braves placed right-handed pitcher Yonny Chirinos on the 15-day injured list with elbow inflammation.

The move, made retroactive to Sunday, cleared room on the roster for right-hander Allan Winans, who was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett to start the opener of a three-game series against the New York Mets.

Chirinos has struggled since he was claimed off waivers from the Tampa Bay Rays a month ago, surrendering 23 earned runs, 33 hits and five homers in 22 1/3 innings over five starts. He failed to make it past the fifth inning in any of his outings.

MARINERS: J.P. Crawford drove his wife crazy while he was sidelined by a concussion. He watched Seattle Mariners games, and yelled at the television.

“She’s probably happy I’m out of the house, too,” he cracked.

Crawford is back with the Mariners after he was activated from the seven-day injured list. He got the start at shortstop and hit in the leadoff spot for the opener of a three-game series at the Chicago White Sox.

Seattle also placed right-hander Emerson Hancock on the 15-day IL with a right shoulder strain. Right-hander Darren McCaughan was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma, and utilityman Sam Haggerty was sent down.

Mariners center fielder Julio Rodríguez was out of the starting lineup on the same day he was named AL player of the week. Rodríguez is batting .524 (22 for 42) with two homers and 13 RBI in his last eight games.

YANKEES: All of a sudden, with two top prospects joining the Yankees on Tuesday, the last six weeks of the regular season feel much more significant.

No, this last-place team isn’t going to defy insurmountable odds and sneak into the postseason. That ship has sailed. An eight-game losing streak — their longest since 1995 — was the nail in the coffin for a Yankees team that’s been sleepwalking throughout the second half.

Adding Everson Pereira and Oswald Peraza to the active roster, however, is a glimpse ahead to 2024. Those two highly-touted pieces will now have an opportunity to prove they belong, an audition to show the Yankees that they deserve a starting spot breaking camp next spring.

It’s a sudden wave of excitement for a fan base that’s been watching a lifeless product for much of this summer. The kids can learn on the fly, gather invaluable experience and possibly provide a spark — like Aaron Judge and Gary Sánchez did when they were called up in August 2016. That team also missed the playoffs, but the injection of some young talent down the stretch allowed the Yankees to finish strong, an early indication of what was to come in 2017.

This isn’t good news for everyone in the Yankees’ clubhouse, though.

Not only will Pereira and Peraza be taking the spots of two players on the Yankees’ roster — probably Greg Allen and Oswaldo Cabrera, if not Billy McKinney — but other veterans will have less playing time going forward.
