It's Friday, July 11 and the Phillies (54-39) are in San Diego to take on the Padres (50-43). Ranger Suárez is slated to take the mound for Philadelphia against Ryan Bergert for San Diego.

Before opening a three-game series against the Phillies at Petco Park, Padres reliever Adrian Morejon was named to the National League All-Star team, making the Friars the first team in Major League Baseball history to send three relievers to the Midsummer Classic.

Bryce Harper broke out of a slump with a career-best four extra-base hits — and then issued a reminder about his place in the game.

The Giants won the series opener, 3-1 behind a two-run eighth inning that sealed the victory for San Francisco. The Giants are now winners of three straight and five of the past six, while the Phillies are 3-3 in the previous six and had their two-game winning streak snapped.
