Overview
- Philadelphia won 11-9 in 10 innings on Friday after falling behind by six at PNC Park.
- Kyle Schwarber hit two-run homers off Braxton Ashcraft in the fifth inning and Mason Montgomery in the seventh.
- The two blasts made him the majors’ leader at 20 home runs and the first player to reach that mark this year.
- He has nine homers in his past eight games, a rare repeat run matched in multiple seasons only by Albert Belle.
- The Pirates walked Schwarber on four pitches with the bases loaded in the ninth, and Bryce Harper followed with a two-run single to tie it.
