Kyle Schwarber Homers in Fifth Straight, Leads MLB With 17 as Phillies Edge Red Sox 2-1

The streak underscores a broader rebound under interim manager Don Mattingly.

Overview

  • Schwarber, who went deep Tuesday at Fenway Park for the fifth straight game, opened the scoring and the Phillies beat the Red Sox 2-1.
  • The blast was his major‑league‑leading 17th and gave him six homers in five games, tying a Phillies record for consecutive games with a home run.
  • Zack Wheeler worked into the eighth inning and left with one out after giving up one run on six hits with four strikeouts.
  • Jhoan Duran earned his sixth save by striking out Ceddanne Rafaela and getting Marcelo Mayer to ground out to end Boston’s ninth‑inning threat.
  • Philadelphia has won three straight and improved to 11-3 since Don Mattingly took over as interim manager after Rob Thomson was fired.
