Harper’s fourth-inning big fly to left field against Giants veteran Justin Verlander — his 10th homer of the season — was his first extra-base hit since returning from the injured list back on June 30. It was his first round-tripper since June 3. His four extra-base hits represented a career-high single-game mark for the 32-year-old fantasy stalwart. Injuries have undoubtedly impacted his on-field performance, but Harper appears to be rounding into form heading into next week’s All-Star break.

Although he was pitching for the first time in eight days, Abel was very sharp and needed just 64 pitches to get 18 outs. He walked only one, which was a nice turnaround from some of his recent major league outings.

Bickford heads to Triple-A Lehigh Valley as extra organizational relief depth for Philadelphia after being released last week by the Cubs following a couple months in their system. The 29-year-old former first-round pick has made 187 relief appearances in the big leagues dating back to the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign. He got into eight games last year for the Yankees.

Luzardo retired 17 of the final 18 batters he faced to finish the first half on a high note, completing seven frames for the first time since May 25. The 27-year-old southpaw limited San Francisco’s lineup to just three hits and one walk, while getting nearly two touchdowns worth of run support from Philadelphia’s offense. It’s been an up-and-down first half for Luzardo in his Phillies debut as he’s paired top-of-the-rotation flashes with maddeningly inconsistent stretches. He’ll carry a solid 4.14 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 122/36 K/BB ratio across 104 1/3 innings (19 starts) into the All-Star break.

Contreras sparked a five-run uprising with a leadoff single in the sixth inning and ultimately scored on an RBI single off the bat of Nolan Arenado. He then capped off the Cardinals’ scoring with a 406-foot (104.7 mph EV) blast off of Jackson Rutledge in the seventh inning that made it an 8-0 ballgame. On the season, the 33-year-old slugger is now hitting .254/.343/.430 with the aforementioned 12 homers and 52 RBI.
