Moniak (ankle) heads out on rehab assignment

Benge’s home run was his eighth of the season. He hit a two-run shot off Max Lazar in the seventh inning. Benge got a fastball he liked on the inner half of the plate and deposited it 420 feet into the upper deck in right field. It would’ve been a home run in all 30 ballparks. Benge is hitting .257 with a .709 OPS and 28 RBI.

Peralta gave up 10 hits, walked one and struck out two. He fell to 5-6 with the loss. Peralta uncharacteristically couldn’t get out of the third inning before allowing 10 runs. His ERA ballooned up to 4.83 due to the disastrous start. It was easily Peralta’s shortest start of the season. He had a 2.70 ERA last year, but that appears to be an outlier at this point given his 3.61 career-ERA and how he’s pitched for the Mets this year. Peralta is lined up to face the Cubs at home next week.

Schwarber now leads the league with 28 home runs. He hit two home runs in the third inning, becoming the first player in the Statcast era to have two home runs that each traveled at least 450 feet in the same inning. Then he hit another home run off Tobias Myers in the seventh inning, giving Schwarber the fifth three-homer game of his career. Schwarber is tied with Dave Kingman for most games with at least three home runs and at least six RBI with four. With Bryce Harper hitting for the cycle, it was the second time teammates had hit for the cycle and at least three home runs in the same game (Tony Lazzeri cycle, Lou Gehrig four home runs for the Yankees in 1932).

Add it to the resume that may one day put Harper in Cooperstown. With the easy parts of the cycle out the way, Harper lined a Tobias Myers fastball into the gap in left-center. With the score 11-1, Harper didn’t stop running until he got to third. While there may have been a play on him, the throw from the outfield headed towards home plate. It was ruled a triple, giving Harper the 11th cycle in Phillies franchise history. He’s hitting .259 with an .873 OPS and 43 RBI.

Sánchez gave up five hits, walked one and struck out five. He improved to 9-3 with the win. Sánchez is an ace pitcher headed to another All-Star game this summer, but was just a footnote in the Phillies’ 15-3 win over the Mets. He cruised through six innings, allowing one run. Sánchez has a 1.80 ERA. He’ll face the Nationals on the road next weekend.

Manzardo’s home run was his ninth of the season. He hit a two-run shot off Spencer Arrighetti in the third inning. It’s his second home run in the last three games. Manzardo is now 14-for-47 (.297) with four home runs and nine RBI in 15 games in June. He’s worth consideration in most fantasy leagues given his recent production and more opposing right-handed starting pitchers on the Guardians’ schedule next week.

Bazzana started the game with a lead-off home run off Spencer Arrighetti and then extended the Guardians’ lead to 6-1 with a three-run home run off Arrighetti in the fifth inning. Bazzana is hitting .274 with seven home runs, an .845 OPS and 23 RBI after his monster game. It came at the right time as he entered play Saturday 10-for-55 (.182) in June.

Arrighetti gave up six hits, walked none and struck out eight. He fell to 7-3 with the loss. Arrighetti was done in by the long ball as all six of the runs he allowed scored on the three home runs he allowed. The 26-year-old right-hander allowed a three-run home run to Travis Bazzana in the fifth inning, giving the Astros a 6-1 lead. Arrighetti’s ERA is now 3.13. He’s lined up to face the Tigers on the road next weekend.

Cantillo gave up four hits, walked one and struck out nine. He improved to 6-3 with the win. Cantillo had allowed 15 runs in 11 innings over three starts before rebounding with two runs allowed in 13 innings over his last two starts. His ERA is down to 4.05. Cantillo will face the Mariners at home next week.

Gelof was hit in the helmet by a pitch Friday, but this isn’t considered a concussion situation. It sounds like the plan is for a full night off, followed by a chance to extend his 23-game hitting streak on Sunday.
