Kyle Schwarber hits 25th homer, reclaims MLB home run lead

sportsJun 16, 202625192

Kyle Schwarber launched a 4th-inning solo home run off Tyler Phillips, his 25th of the season, moving into sole possession of Major League Baseball's home-run lead. The line-drive blast traveled 352 feet with a 96.6 mph exit velocity and a 23 degree launch angle at Citizens Bank Park. Schwarber was in the Phillies' lineup at first base for the first time since Oct. 22, 2021, and Philadelphia defeated the Miami Marlins 8-2. Schwarber's power surge gives the Phillies a middle-of-order slugger as they rely on run production down the stretch.

Phillies are a season-high seven games over .500. First baseman Kyle Schwarber didn't have a single ball hit to him.

Steve Lake grids are the best grids! All Cubs, with some slap dash copy and paste to show them all in the right cap. #HatstotheLeft for Pedro Strop. My most frequently used player: Dawson (54). My least frequently used player: Frey (1).

Grid with columns Rangers, Cubs and 100+ Run Season Batting, and rows Reds, Nationals and Played Catcher Min. 1 Game. Grid is filled with Pedro Strop, Steve Boros, Lonny Frey, Carl Edwards Jr., Lary Sorensen, Andre Dawson, Tim Federowicz, Steve Lake and Kyle Schwarber. All players are pictured wearing Cubs caps. The pictures of Boros, Frey, Edwards Jr., Sorensen, Dawson, Federowicz, Schwarber are copied and pasted from other sources. The picture(s) of Steve Boros and Lary Sorensen have a yellow Michigan block M in the bottom right corner.

Don Mattingly gives the hard-hitting breakdown of his choice to start Kyle Schwarber at 1st base. “He played outfield for the entire game, so that means he has to run all the way out there and all the way back. I feel like he can get to 1st and back and be okay.”
