Overview
- Schwarber went 4-for-5 with two homers and a double in an 11-1 victory over the Marlins at Citizens Bank Park.
- His first homer came off left-hander Ryan Weathers and marked his 23rd this season by a lefty off a lefty, a single-season MLB record verified by Elias.
- The new mark surpasses Stan Musial’s 1949 total and Matt Olson’s 2021 tally of 22 lefty-on-lefty home runs.
- He now has 56 homers and 132 RBIs, leads the National League in home runs, and is the first Phillie with 80 extra-base hits since 2009.
- Schwarber credits years of adjustments with coaches Kevin Long and Pat Roessler as he thrives in a full-time DH role for a Phillies club that has clinched an NLDS bye and enters October as a favorite, with his age-32 contract year fueling free-agency buzz.
