Schwarber’s Power Surge Lifts Phillies Past Rays, 7–4
Philadelphia, PA — The “hardest feat in sports” may never be settled, but Kyle Schwarber made his case Saturday night. The Philadelphia Phillies slugger crushed three home runs at Citizens Bank Park, powering his club to a 7–4 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays.
Schwarber was unstoppable at the plate, going 3-for-5 with four RBI and four runs scored. His solo shot off Taj Bradley in the second inning set the tone early. After striking out in the fourth, Schwarber launched a two-run blast off Bradley in the seventh and added another solo homer off Pete Fairbanks in the ninth. He later drew a walk in the 11th to cap his night.
With the trio of home runs, Schwarber raised his season total to 34, complementing a .245 average with 117 hits, 74 runs scored, and 77 RBI across 478 at-bats.
