Overview
- Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber, following Thursday's doubleheader in San Francisco, went 5-for-6 with two home runs, two doubles, three walks and no strikeouts.
- OptaSTATS said he became the first MLB player since Lou Gehrig in 1935 to log 5-plus hits, 3-plus walks, 2-plus doubles and 2-plus homers in one day without a strikeout.
- His first-game homer was career No. 350 in his 1,321st game, giving him two more than Babe Ruth had through the same number of games.
- MLB researcher Sarah Langs noted he reached 350 in the seventh-fewest games on record.
- Philadelphia won both games on walk-offs to complete the sweep, and Schwarber’s season line rose to a .225 average with 11 home runs for fourth in MLB.
