Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber also homered twice in the third as Philadelphia plated eight runs in that inning; Harper’s performance helped secure a convincing game, with this being the 11th Phillies cycle all‑time and the first since Weston Wilson in 2024.

Gunnar Henderson's Unconventional Decision Leaves Orioles Amused and Baffled

Gunnar Henderson falls just shy of hitting for the cycle but settles for a historic performance, becoming the first Orioles rookie to record two or more doubles, a triple, and a home run in the same game since 2013. The 22-year-old's four-hit game helps the Orioles sweep the A's and extend their lead in the AL East to three games over the Rays. Henderson's decision to go for a double instead of stopping at first base in his final at-bat sparks playful disappointment from his teammates, but his relentless competitive mindset is praised by the Orioles' manager.

J.T. Realmuto hits for cycle in Phillies' loss to Diamondbacks.

The team is discussing alternatives and considering using Bailey Falter as a potential option to pitch on Saturday. Matt Strahm hit Corbin Carroll twice with a pitch, causing a bench-clearing incident and forcing Strahm to avoid pitching inside, which may have contributed to Pavin Smith's two-run single.
