The Phillies enter the month of August in their worst slump over the past three seasons. Nick Castellanos and company were just swept at home by the New York Yankees. They no longer hold the best record in baseball, and have watched their dominant lead in the National League and NL East dwindle after posting a 10-14 record in the month of July.

By the Numbers: Nick Castellanos can be the perfect slump-buster for the Phillies in August, but he can’t do it alone

More dangerous substances are entering the Denver drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned in a newsletter this week. “The Iron Law of Prohibition posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville wrote in the newsletter. That is exactly what is happening, she said.

Speaking through an interpreter, Leivy Ortega and Henry Aguilar said they received vouchers for hotel stays from an unnamed non-profit. But they had problems using the vouchers, they said. Ortega said she came to Denver from Connecticut and lived in her car for 15 days. She received a three-day hotel voucher, she said, but hotel staff initially would not honor it. She did not name the hotel. She said staff finally looked at her paperwork and gave her a room, but they wanted to charge her. for it.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The recent participation of a transgender woman in the women's boxing competition at the Olympics, which led to an Italian competitor throwing in the towel, has reignited controversy across the nation, including in Tennessee. This event highlights ongoing debates over including transgender athletes in sports and ties into broader changes to Title IX under the Biden-Harris administration.

The Philadelphia Phillies missed out on acquiring star closer Tanner Scott, who was traded to the San Diego Padres from the Miami Marlins. Instead, they secured Carlos Estevez from the Angels, known for his impressive recent performance with a 0.00 ERA since late May. The team also added Tanner Banks from the White Sox for additional bullpen depth, retaining prospects. While the loss of Scott is notable for their closing strategy, the Phillies appear to have strengthened their bullpen without depleting their farm system significantly.

SEATTLE (AP) — Luke Raley hit a three-run homer into the upper deck, Justin Turner’s grand slam capped Seattle’s seven-run second inning and the Mariners thumped the Philadelphia Phillies 10-2 on Friday night. The Mariners handed Philadelphia its season-high fifth straight loss. Combined with Atlanta’s fourth straight win, the Phillies lead in the NL East is down to five games, the smallest Philadelphia’s advantage has been since May 28. Given a wealth of offensive support, Seattle starter Bryan Woo cruised through a career-high seven shutout innings allowing just five hits. Woo (5-1) struck out six, walked none and left to a standing ovation after Bryson Stott’s fly out ended the seventh. It was the 14th time this season a Seattle starter pitched at least seven inning allowing zero runs.  “It’s been a tough year watching the rest of the staff do what they’ve been doing and staying healthy and just being horses,” said Woo, who has faced two stints on the injured list. “That’s all I’m really trying to do is just contribute and be that for the team.”
