PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Bryce Harper hit a grand slam, Cristopher Sánchez pitched seven strong innings and the red-hot Philadelphia Phillies routed the Toronto Blue Jays 10-1 on Tuesday night.
Kody Clemens homered, tripled and drove in four runs for the Phillies, who have won seven straight games, 11 in a row at home and 18 of 21 overall. Philadelphia is leading baseball with 26 victories.
“Just really good all around,” Harper said.
Danny Jansen and Alejandro Kirk each doubled for Toronto. The Blue Jays have lost six of seven.
Sánchez (2-3) gave up one run on six hits with five strikeouts and two walks.
“Our starting pitching has been lights out,” Harper said.
Harper, who had three hits, chased José Berríos (4-3) with a bases-loaded drive to right with two outs in the fourth on a 2-0, 84 mph curveball to give the two-time NL MVP home runs in three consecutive contests.
