Philadelphia Phillies at Seattle Mariners

The last time Bryce Harper went an entire game without reaching base was all the way back in the days when he was still playing first base. A month that started with Harper moving back to the outfield for the first time since 2021 has turned into one of the best of his entire career. That continued on Wednesday when Harper collected a pair of hits, including a first-inning homer, in the Phillies' 6-0 win over the Mariners at T-Mobile Park. The home run was the 390th of Harper's big league career. One inning later, Kyle Schwarber hit his MLB-leading 40th home run of the season -- and the 380th of his career. That was more than enough for Jesús Luzardo, who continued his remarkable run by allowing only one hit over seven scoreless innings while striking out nine -- reaching the 200-K mark in the process. Luzardo improved to 8-1 with a 1.90 ERA over his past 14 starts, dating to June 10. As for Harper, his two-hit day extended his on-base streak to a career-best 29 straight games. The last time he didn't reach base safely was July 25 -- more than a week before he moved to the outfield. Overall, Harper has a .509 on-base percentage for the month of August, which would match the best month of his career (April 2017). He's been on base so much that his OBP actually went down by reaching only twice in four plate appearances Wednesday.  “Yeah, I feel good,” Harper said. “ … I don't really have a reason. I don't really have a motive or anything else, so I don't really have an answer for you guys. I don't have an answer for \[hitting coach\
