Phillies slugger Bryce Harper has hit his 300th career home run, going deep Wednesday against the Los Angeles Angels to become the 158th player in major league history to reach that mark.

Harper hit the milestone homer against Matt Moore in the eighth inning for his 15th homer of the season. The two-run drive, in Harper's 1,481st game, put Philadelphia ahead 8-7. The Angels rallied for three runs in the ninth, however, en route to a 10-8 victory.

Louis Lappe hit a walk-off homer and California beat Curacao 6-5 in the Little League Baseball World Series championship Sunday, despite giving up a four-run lead.

Louis flipped his bat and threw his arms in the air as he trotted around the bases, leaping onto home plate as he was greeted by his teammates surrounding the batter's box. The leadoff hitter in the bottom of the sixth inning, Louis lofted the second pitch he saw just beyond the left field fence.

The Houston Astros lost to the Boston Red Sox 17-1 on Thursday night, tying the record for the worst loss in club history.

It was the seventh time Houston had been routed that bad, according to ESPN Stats & Information, with the last time happening vs. the Colorado Rockies on Sept. 25, 2011.

The Red Sox set season highs with 17 runs and 24 hits, and it was the most runs and hits the World Series champs have allowed this year.

The New York Yankees lost 2-1 to the Washington Nationals on Tuesday night, extending their losing streak to nine games.

The Yankees haven't won since Aug. 11, their longest skid since Sept. 13-21, 1982 -- the final month of a 79-win season when they employed three managers.

"Pretty down but we've got to fight through it," Aaron Boone said. "I think we're doing and saying the right things but we're in it to win it. At the end of the day, you work hard to put yourself in a position to shake hands at the end of the day. When you get beat over and over again and you're in the middle of a tough season, it makes it hard."

According to Elias Sports Bureau, New York's last 10-game losing streak was May 21-June 6, 1913.

An overturned call at the plate in the eighth inning led to the latest loss in what's become the New York Yankees' worst season in decades.

The Yankees extended a losing streak to eight for the first time in 28 years, allowing Justin Turner's ninth-inning go-ahead double in a 6-5 defeat to the Boston Red Sox on Sunday.

"We got to be unbelievable the rest of the way," manager Aaron Boone said after the Yankees dropped to 60-64 and fell nine games behind Seattle for the AL's last wild card spot.

"We're really scuffling."

The defending champion Houston Astros called a team meeting Sunday after a three-game sweep at the hands of the Seattle Mariners narrowed their lead in the AL West and wild-card standings.

"Like I said to everybody after the game, this is one of the most disappointing parts of the ... season," veteran catcher Martin Maldonado said. "This is a slap in the face and a wake-up call." 

Max Scherzer moved into 11th place on baseball's career strikeout list, getting his 3,343rd on Sunday to pass Hall of Fame knuckleballer Phil Niekro.

Scherzer, making his fourth start for the AL West-leading Texas Rangers since getting traded from the New York Mets, struck out Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang in the third inning. It was Scherzer's third strikeout of the game.

Julio Rodríguez set a major league record with his 17th hit in four games, helping to lead the Seattle Mariners past the Houston Astros 10-3 for their fifth straight win Saturday night.

Rodriguez, with a single to left field in the seventh inning, broke a major league record set in 1925 by Milt Stock of the Brooklyn Robins. He finished 4-for-6, giving him his fourth consecutive four-plus-hit game.

Houston's Jon Singleton joined his family, including 6-year-old daughter Maisyn, for a postgame fireworks display Friday night after hitting his first home runs in the majors since 2015.

His little girl was happy for his big game, but to her, watching fireworks with daddy was the best part of the night.

"Baseball is kind of on the side," Singleton said. "But fireworks she loves."

Michael Lorenzen threw the 14th no-hitter in Philadelphia Phillies history, a dazzling performance in only his second start with his new team, which beat the Washington Nationals 7-0 on Wednesday night.

Lorenzen, 31, struck out five, walked four and improved to 2-0 since he was acquired from Detroit at the trade deadline for a minor leaguer. His 124 pitches -- a career high -- are the most by any pitcher in a game this season and the most in a solo no-hitter since Mike Fiers' 131 in 2019.
