Twins right-hander Bailey Ober (9-5) limited Phillies hitters to two runs on four hits in seven innings. He walked one and struck out four. Cole Sands followed with two hitless innings for his third save. Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez (10-5) gave up three runs on seven hits in 5 1/3 innings. He walked one and struck out four. Harper gave the Phillies a 2-0 lead in the first. Turner hit a one-out single to right field and Harper followed with a 424-foot shot to right for his 23rd homer of the year.
