Overview
- Schwarber homered twice against the Orioles, including a grand slam for his 40th home run of the season, driving in six runs in Monday’s 13-3 victory.
- His 40th homer extended his streak to four consecutive seasons with at least 38 long balls for one franchise, making him the first player in MLB history to do so with a single team.
- With 94 RBIs, Schwarber now leads all of Major League Baseball in runs batted in and shares the National League home run lead.
- Starter Jesús Luzardo held Baltimore to three runs over six innings, and newcomer closer Jhoan Duran secured his 18th save to back Philadelphia’s offense.
- The win preserved a half-game advantage over the Mets in the NL East as the Phillies pursue a fourth straight postseason berth.
