Harper and Schwarber hit home runs as Philadelphia beats Miami 7-2

PHILADLEPHIA (AP) — Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber homered, Zack Wheeler struck out 13 in seven innings and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Miami Marlins 7-2 on Friday night.

Harper hit a two-run home run in the first inning off Sandy Alcantara. Schwarber hit a solo shot in the fifth, his National League-leading seventh of the season.

Wheeler (2-1) allowed five hits, two runs and no walks. He struck out the side in the seventh to finish his day at 96 pitches.

Eric Wagaman hit a two-run home run off Wheeler in the sixth. Xavier Edwards extended his hitting streak to a career-high 11 games as the Marlins lost their fourth straight game.

Alcantara (2-1), making his fourth start since Tommy John surgery in October 2023, needed 61 pitches to get six outs, allowing four hits, six earned runs, two walks and throwing two wild pitches. His ERA rose to 7.27.

He allowed a walk and back-to-back singles to start the second. Alec Bohm and Johan Rojas hit RBI singles, Bryson Stott hit a sacrifice fly and Rojas scored on a wild pitch for a 6-0 lead.

Nick Castellanos, who had two hits, left his second straight game with a hip issue.

The Phillies jumped on Alcantara early. Harper’s home run took Alcantara to 18 pitches on the third batter of the game. He needed 30 to escape the first inning and recorded his fourth out with his 53rd pitch. Alcantara has not thrown more than 91 pitches in an outing this season.

19 — Friday was the Phillies’ 19th game in the first 20 with a starter pitching at least five innings. Phillies starters entered having thrown 109.1 innings, fourth-most in the majors.

Taijuan Walker (1-1, 2.30 ERA) takes the mound for the Phillies against Miami’s Cal Quantrill (1-1, 5.79) on Saturday.

LYON, France (AP) — Forward Jule Brand scored the decisive goal in the 86th minute as OL Lyonnes beat titleholder Arsenal 3-1 to reach the Women’s Champions League final on Saturday.

Goals from captain Wendie Renard and striker Kadidiatou Diani put Lyon 2-0 up at halftime, but Alessia Russo's competition-leading ninth goal looked to have sent the game into extra time.

But Brand latched onto Melchie Dumornay's pass to make it 4-3 on aggregate for record eight-time champion Lyon, which lost the first leg 2-1.

Lyon will face either Bayern Munich or three-time champion Barcelona. They play on Sunday and are locked at 1-1 after the first leg in Germany, when Bayern goalscorer Franziska Kett was sent off for pulling the hair of an opponent.

The final will be in Oslo on May 23.

A frantic opening at Groupama Stadium saw a header from Lyon midfielder Lindsey Heaps ruled out following a video review.

But VAR went Lyon's way midway through the first half when a penalty was awarded after defender Lotte Wubben-Moy fouled Dumornay from behind.

Renard scored the penalty on her second attempt.

Arsenal goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar saved the first one but the kick was re-taken for encroachment in the area, and Renard sent her the wrong way with her second effort.

Arsenal benefited from two defensive blunders to win the first leg 2-1 in London, but struggled from corners against Lyon.
