Gunnar Henderson’s two-run triple with two outs in the seventh inning lifted the Baltimore Orioles past the visiting Philadelphia Phillies 6-4 in the opener of a three-game series Friday night.

Pete Alonso homered for the Orioles, who notched a four-run uprising in the seventh to produce their first back-to-back victories in nearly two weeks.

Anthony Nunez (3-2) picked up the win with two-thirds of an inning. Taylor Ward pitched the ninth for his fourth save.

Trea Turner and J.T. Realmuto homered for the Phillies, who’ve lost eight of their last nine games. Turner finished with three hits — half of Philadelphia’s total. Andrew Painter posted a rare strong effort as a Phillies starter, but it didn’t pay off.

Painter, appearing in his first big-league game since June 17, delivered a quality start. Over six innings, he held the Orioles to two runs on three hits with three walks and six strikeouts.

The Orioles tied the game on Christian Encarnacion-Strand’s two-run double with one out in the seventh against Orion Kerkering (6-1).

Baltimore starter Brandon Young went 5 2/3 innings, charged with four runs on five hits with two walks and five strikeouts. He had surrendered only two runs across 13 1/3 innings over his previous two starts.

The Phillies have lost Painter’s last six outings. He hasn’t won since his big-league debut March 31 vs. Washington.

The game’s first three batters reached base, with Turner’s leadoff infield single resulting in a run following a walk and Bryce Harper’s RBI single. Brandon Marsh’s groundout provided another run for a 2-0 edge.

It took only two batters for Baltimore to pull even. Dylan Beavers led off with a double and Alonso followed with his team-leading 23rd home run of the season.

Leading off the third, Turner belted a go-ahead home run, his 16th of 2026.

After Alonso’s single in the third, Painter retired the next 10 batters before issuing a walk to Taylor Ward in the sixth.

Realmuto’s first home run since July 8 was his eighth of the season as the Phillies regained a two-run advantage in the sixth.

Janson Junk and four relievers combined on a seven-hitter Friday night for the visiting Miami Marlins, who beat the New York Mets 5-2, leveling the four-game series at one win apiece.

Jakob Marsee, Joe Mack and Xavier Edwards had RBI hits during a four-run fifth inning for the Marlins, who have won four of five following a 12-game losing streak. Kyle Stowers added a solo homer in the sixth.

A.J. Ewing had a run-scoring single and Francisco Lindor homered for the Mets, who fell to 7-7 since the All-Star break. Carson Benge went 3-for-4.

Junk (5-6) gave up an unearned run on three hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings. The 30-year-old right-hander, who made his fourth start since returning from the injured list July 9, retired the first 10 batters he faced and didn’t allow a hit until Benge doubled with two outs in the fourth.

Cade Gibson, Calvin Faucher and Tyler Zuber combined to allow one run over three innings before Pete Fairbanks threw a 1-2-3 ninth for his 16th save.

Kodai Senga (0-8) took the loss as the last-second starter for the Mets, who scratched Freddy Peralta because New York is involved in trade talks involving the impending free agent. Senga allowed three runs on two hits and two walks while striking out four over four-plus innings.

Senga, making his first start since June 23, allowed just one hit — Mack’s third-inning double — through four innings before tiring in the fifth. Griffin Conine and Heriberto Hernandez worked walks to open the frame before Marsee chased Senga with a two-run double to right.

Mack greeted Xzavion Curry with a run-scoring single and went to second on Javier Sanoja’s groundout before scoring on Edwards’ two-out bloop single.

The Mets scratched out an unearned run in the bottom of the fifth. Jorge Polanco reached on a two-out error at first base by Stowers. Francisco Alvarez walked before Polanco scored on Ewing’s single to center.

Stowers went deep with one out in the sixth, and Lindor homered off the second deck in right in the seventh.

The San Francisco Giants announced Friday they have suspended payments to outfielder Harrison Bader, hours after news broke that Bader crashed his scooter into the back of a fire truck and aggravated a foot injury.

The Giants confirmed earlier this week that Bader was in an accident last weekend that impacted a left foot injury that has kept him sidelined since May 29. After details of the scooter accident became public, the Giants made the decision to suspend pay.

“Over the weekend, Harrison Bader was involved in an accident that has delayed Harrison’s prior treatment timeline for plantar fasciitis and, unfortunately, his return to the field,” Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey said in a statement Friday. “We are still investigating the circumstances of the accident, but will be suspending payment to Harrison until he is able to resume performing services for the club.”

Bader, 32, met with a foot and ankle specialist Monday in Indianapolis to check the progress of his initial injury, left plantar fasciitis. However, the impact of the scooter-related injury “changed the nature of his evaluation,” the team said in a statement.

Bader signed a two-year, $20.5 million contract prior to this season. According to reports, he is owed $1.42 million for the remainder of the season.

Bader was scheduled to undergo an MRI to “better understand the severity of the injuries sustained from the scooter accident,” per the Giants.

TMZ Sports reported Friday that the scooter crash occurred in San Francisco at about 1:50 a.m. local time Sunday morning. A witness said Bader collided with the rear of a San Francisco Fire Department truck, causing the scooter wheel to roll over his foot.

The fire department confirmed that a patient was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Bader batted .170 with five home runs and 14 RBIs in 30 games this season, his first with the Giants. He signed a two-year deal worth $20.5 million in January. He also missed time earlier this season with a hamstring injury.

Bader is a career .244 hitter with 93 home runs and 336 RBIs in 954 games over 10 seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals (2017-22), New York Yankees (2022-23), Cincinnati Reds (2023), New York Mets (2024), Minnesota Twins (2025), Philadelphia Phillies (2025) and Giants.
