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.

He accomplished this with four impressive opposite-field extra-base hits, marking the first time he's achieved that feat in a single game. “I'm excellent. I mean, I am,” Harper said after the game, as reported by NBC Sports Philadelphia. It wasn't just arrogance—it was a bold statement.

Posey has shown a willingness to make bold moves in his tenure, from the offseason to in-season trades.

Justin Verlander needed just one pitch to provide affirmation. Verlander began his afternoon against the Philadelphia Phillies with a four-seam fastball on the outside corner to Trea Turner. The pitch clocked in at 95.5 mph, well above his average fastball velocity of 93.9 mph. Between last Friday's start against the A's and Wednesday's start against the Phillies, Verlander made a subtle mechanical tweak in the pursuit of improved stuff and more deception. With that one fastball, Verlander knew something had clicked.

Realmuto and Trea Turner to stretch the lead to 11-0.

After a poor end to June, the San Francisco Giants are fortunately playing much better to start July.

Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report recently wrote about a somewhat concerning trend for the Giants amid their recent struggles.

Yesterday on the farm.

After a thrilling win against the Philadelphia Phillies, the San Francisco Giants are starting to build a little bit of momentum once again. This resulted in them falling behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West. Having a strong bullpen will make the Giants a legitimate threat against anyone in a series, and also because of the dynamic duo they have at the top of their rotation.
