One Sentence Summary: Kyle Schwarber blasted a pair of home runs in this much-needed slugfest of a win, 13-7 over the Cubs.
What It Means: This was to be the be the last exciting/good baseball the Phillies would play for at least the next three games.
What Happened: Everybody who hadn't been hitting in the Phillies line-up collected at least one hit in this game, with the exception of Justin Crawford, who had been hitting well. The rookie went 0 for 5 with a pair of strikeouts. Schwarber hit home runs #5 and #6. Brandon Marsh was 3 for 4 with a double and two RBIs. J.T. Realmuto was 3 for 5 with three RBIs, and even Alec Bohm had a hit and a pair of RBIs. Cristopher Sanchez was the beneficiary of the run support, allowing two runs on a two-run home run to Dansby Swanson in the fourth and striking out eight. This game should have been more of a laugher, but Seth Johnson gave up five runs (three earned) in a lengthy eighth inning.
Featured Card: I'm happy to keep featuring Schwarber cards, as long as he keeps hitting home runs. This is his 1991 Topps-inspired card, with an unnecessarily long name, from an insert set found within packs of 2026 Topps Series One.
