Game 41 - Schwarbombs Away on Mother's Day

Colorado Rockies  0 
Philadelphia Phillies  6 

2026 Topps #197
Sunday Afternoon, May 10th
Citizens Bank Park - Philadelphia, PA
19-22, Tied for 2nd Place, 9 games behind the Braves

One Sentence Summary:  Kyle Schwarber homered twice and Christopher Sanchez threw seven shutout innings in this 6-0 Mother's Day win over the Rockies.

What It Means:  The Phillies head out on the road for three games in Boston, followed by three games in Pittsburgh.

What Happened:  It shouldn't be lost among the accolades for Sanchez and Schwarber that Brandon Marsh went 4 for 4 to raise his average to .353, making him the leading hitter in baseball.  Sanchez allowed six hits, walking none and striking out seven in his dominant outing.  Schwarber and Bryce Harper hit back-to-back home runs in the first, which was all the scoring the Phillies would need for the win.  Schwarber would homer again in the second inning.

Featured Card:  Homers from Schwarber and Harper in the first give me a good excuse to feature this Combo Player Card from Series One of the this year's Topps flagship set.
