Overview

  • Schwarber’s milestone came on a three-run blast off Mets reliever Justin Hagenman that Statcast measured at 110.4 mph and an estimated 437 feet in a 9-3 win.
  • He is the first National League player to hit 50 this season, leads the NL with 123 RBIs, and trails Seattle’s Cal Raleigh for the MLB home run lead.
  • Ranger Suárez struck out a career-high 12 over six shutout innings in the victory, which pushed Philadelphia’s NL East advantage to nine games.
  • The slugger became the 34th player in MLB history to reach 50 in a season and just the second Phillie to do it after Ryan Howard’s 58 in 2006, while joining a rare 50–120–10 club with his 10 steals.
  • In a clubhouse toast, manager Rob Thomson saluted the feat as elite company, and with Schwarber in a contract year, his production is set to factor heavily into offseason decisions.
