Schwarber’s 30th Homer Lifts Phillies Past Mets, 5-4
On Sunday, Kyle Schwarber hit his MLB-best 30th home run in the seventh inning, lifting the Philadelphia Phillies to a 5-4 victory over the New York Mets.
Schwarber connected on a 408-foot drive off Kodai Senga, becoming the fastest player to reach 30 homers in franchise history at 84 games.
Bryce Harper, Alec Bohm, and Brandon Marsh contributed third-inning RBIs, while starter Jesus Luzardo allowed one run and struck out six over five innings.
Jose Alvarado and Orion Kerkering navigated late-inning jams to preserve the lead, with Jhoan Duran securing his 21st save to finish the game.
The Phillies, holding a 47-37 record, return home Monday night to face the Pirates in their final homestand before the All-Star break.
