Bryce Harper hit the 350th homer of his career and four Phillies teammates also went deep, yet it wasn't enough for Philadelphia to beat Boston.

He became the first Red Sox player — ever — to strike out four times in consecutive games, doing so Monday and Tuesday.

It’s Wednesday, July 23 and the Red Sox (54-49) are in Philadelphia to take on the Phillies (58-43). Lucas Giolito is slated to take the mound for Boston against Jesús Luzardo for Philadelphia. The Phillies held the Red Sox to one run and held onto a 4-1 victory to follow up the 3-2 win in extra innings on Monday.

Mayer kept the fifth inning alive against Phillies lefty Jesús Luzardo with a two-out walk, then came around to score when Romy Gonzalez helped the Red Sox flip a 5-0 deficit into a 6-5 lead with a grand slam to left field. After the inning, he was replaced at third base by Abraham Toro.

The Boston Red Sox skipper made his stance on the San Francisco Giants and their franchise slugger very clear.
