3 articles · Updated · CBS Sports · Jun 21

Summary

  • Kyle Schwarber went 4-for-5 with three home runs and six RBI Saturday, powering Philadelphia's 15-3 blowout of the Mets.
  • Two of those blasts came in the third inning and both traveled at least 450 feet, making Schwarber the only player in the Statcast era to hit multiple 450-foot homers in the same inning.
  • A two-run shot in the seventh completed the fifth three-homer game of Schwarber's career and pushed his season total to a major-league-leading 28.
  • The surge fits a broader hot stretch: Schwarber has hit safely in eight of his last nine games, with five homers, nine RBI and nine runs in that span.
  • For the season, the Phillies slugger is batting .254/.368/.595 with 49 RBI and 49 runs across 329 plate appearances.
