Overview

  • Kyle Schwarber recorded his 1,000th career hit with a two-run homer in the fifth inning that marked the 319th of his career, then added another in the eighth to drive a 12-5 comeback victory at Yankee Stadium.
  • J.T. Realmuto’s three-run homer in the seventh inning broke the tie and helped fuel a late surge that saw Philadelphia score 10 runs over the final three innings.
  • On Saturday, Bryce Harper hit a 425-foot solo home run in the fourth inning and the Phillies held on for a 9-4 win, extending their winning streak in New York to two games.
  • Philadelphia’s offense has taken off since the All-Star break, with Schwarber totaling six home runs in seven games and leading the team with 36 on the season.
  • With the Phillies tied atop the NL East, president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski and GM Preston Mattingly are pursuing bullpen reinforcements ahead of Thursday’s trade deadline as Schwarber, in the final year of his contract, weighs re-signing.
