<p>SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Bryce Harper homered and doubled three times, Jesús Luzardo struck out seven and gave up three hits in seven innings, and the Philadelphia Phillies kept Justin Verlander winless with a 13-0 rout of the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Verlander (0-7), the 42-year-old right-hander in his first year with the Giants, gave up four runs (two earned) on seven hits in six innings. The three-time Cy Young Award winner struck out seven and did not issue a walk.</p>
<p>It was his 15th start of the season and his longest previous streak of starts without a win was seven.</p>
<p>The Phillies scored an unearned run in the second before Harper opened the fourth with his 10th homer, taking Verlander to left field.</p>
<p>Harper led off the sixth with a double, igniting Philadelphia's two-run inning. He doubled twice in the eighth inning when the Phillies broke open the game with seven runs off San Francisco's bullpen. The big blow was a three-run homer by Kyle Schwarber off Scott Alexander, Schwarber's 29th homer of the season.</p>
<p>Mike Yastrzemski, normally an outfielder, pitched the ninth for the Giants. He gave up two runs but got Harper on a foul popup to end the inning.</p>
<p>Key moment</p>
<p>The Giants' lone threat against Luzardo (8-5) came in the second when they had runners at first and second with one out before the lefty struck out Jung Hoo Lee and Luis Matos.</p>
<p>Key stat</p>
<p>The game was Verlander's sixth quality start (at least six innings pitched, no more than three earned runs allowed) of 2025.</p>
<p>Up next</p>
<p>Philadelphia LHP Ranger Suárez (7-2, 1.99 ERA) will start at San Diego on Friday night. Also on Friday, the Giants and RHP Logan Webb (8-6, 2.62) host the Dodgers and RHP Dustin May (5-5, 4.52).</p>
