Kyle Schwarber Belts Four Homers, Sets Phillies RBI Mark in Rout of Braves

The barrage vaulted him to the NL home run lead at 49 with an MLB-best 119 RBIs.

Overview

  • Schwarber went 4-for-6 with four home runs and a franchise-record nine RBIs in the Phillies' 19-4 win over the Braves at Citizens Bank Park.
  • He became the 21st player in MLB history and the fourth Phillie to hit four homers in a game, the first by a Phillie since Mike Schmidt in 1976, and the third such game in 2025 after Eugenio Suárez and Nick Kurtz.
  • The performance lifted his season totals to 49 homers and 119 RBIs, giving him the National League lead in home runs and placing him one behind MLB leader Cal Raleigh; his 49 are second most in a season in Phillies history behind Ryan Howard's 58.
  • Statcast measured his fourth homer at 108.9 mph and 407 feet, and the Baseball Hall of Fame requested his helmet from the game.
  • He had a chance at an unprecedented fifth homer in the eighth against position player Vidal Bruján but popped out, as Philadelphia snapped a three-game skid and moved five games up in the NL East.
