Schwarber’s Power Propels Phillies

Kyle Schwarber just smashed his 30th home run of the season in just 84 games — the fastest ever for him — putting the Phillies ahead against the Mets and putting him on pace for 58 homers this year, nearly bringing him to 400 career homers. The win moved Philly back into contention, but exposed glaring weaknesses: a desperate need for another right-handed bat and a shaky bullpen that struggled after the starter exited early. Chase Shugart gave up a lead in the sixth, and even after Schwarber’s clutch homer off Kodai Senga in the seventh, the relievers had to fight hard to close it out. With the All-Star break looming, the Phillies head home for their final series before facing the Pirates — and Schwarber’s power remains their biggest weapon.
