Schwarber’s Slam Lights Up Phillies | Houston Astros News

Kyle Schwarber crushed his 44th home run of the season — a jaw-dropping grand slam — to power the Phillies to an 11-7 win over the Astros, as Trea Turner added his own blast and the offense exploded for six runs in the sixth. Despite a shaky start from Cristopher Sanchez, who gave up six runs but still earned his 17th win, the Phillies’ firepower shone bright. Meanwhile, Jose Altuve hit his 2,500th career knock, becoming only the second Astro to reach that milestone. Elsewhere, Jackson Merrill lit up San Diego with two homers and six RBIs, while rookie George Lombard Jr. delivered a grand slam for the Yankees. The Tigers snapped a seven-game skid, the A’s blanked the Blue Jays, and the Brewers swept the Cubs — plus eight more teams pulled off big wins across MLB, turning up the heat on a wild weekend of baseball.
