PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Bryce Harper ended the longest homerless streak of his major league career in the second game, and the Philadelphia Phillies swept a doubleheader from the San Diego Padres 6-4 and 9-4 on Saturday.Harper connected on a curveball from left-hander Ryan Weathers (1-6), tying the score 1-1 in the fourth inning.“That’s what he does,” Phillies manager Rob Thomson said. “Everybody was excited.”The ball was caught barehanded in the Philadelphia bullpen in center field by closer Craig Kimbrel.Needing a healthy Kimbrel, Harper lightheartedly told his closer not to make a barehanded grab again.“That was stupid,” Harper said, causing laughs among reporters. “I already talked to him. It was terrible. You can’t do that. I mean, nice catch but come on man.”It was the fourth homer of the season for Harper, who made his season debut May 2 after recovering from Tommy John surgery. The home run was Harper’s first since May 25 at Atlanta against Dylan Dodd. He had gone 166 plate appe...Brewers shut out Reds for 3rd straight game, take sole NL Central lead with 3-0 win

It’s common in an OB/GYN clinic to have a patient hand me a stack of printouts from her last doctor, a thick ream mostly littered with extraneous lab results and automated text. But to have a patient do so when she shows up in labor, breathing through contractions, is far more unusual, especially when their previous hospital is less than 30 miles away.But this past spring it became a routine occurrence at my Boston hospital; after a fire closed down Brockton Hospital in February, patients would arrive without warning or transfer, ready to have their babies at a place they didn’t recognize, with physicians and nurses unaware of their medical histories. That a patient had to travel 30 miles to find an available birthing hospital seemed strange to colleagues so used to having the nation’s best hospitals clustered within a couple miles, or just across the street. But for many New Englanders, the lack of accessible maternity care is a reality that stands to get worse.Despite the regio...Musician/photographer Andy Summers adds photos to new tour

Andy Summers spent the decade before joining the Police becoming one of the world’s greatest guitarists. In the years leading up to his colossal, world-conquering trio with Sting and Stewart Copeland, Summers logged time in blues bands and psychedelic outfits, and even earned a degree in classical guitar.By the time the Police went global, Summers was a musical heavyweight with long stretches of time that needed to be filled with something other than playing hit records.“I’m in the Police and we’re on the road all the time,” Summers told Herald. “We’re surrounded by photographers and it came to me, ‘I should do photography. I should become a very good photographer.”And so Summers became a very good photographer.He may be the rare example of somebody who could actually quit their day job, but instead of deciding between the camera and guitar, he recently combined the two. His current tour, The Cracked Lens + A Missing String, which stops at Beverly’s Cabot Theater on July 21, has him...Fill your summer with music at Boston museums
