Citizens Bank Park - Philadelphia, PA
41-35, 2nd Place, 7 1/2 games behind the Braves
41-35, 2nd Place, 7 1/2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Kyle Schwarber launched three home runs, two in the third inning, and Bryce Harper hit for the cycle in this 15-3 blow-out win over the Mets.
What It Means: I'm considering this an early Father's Day present! What an enjoyable game to watch, in spite of the Fox broadcasters.
What Happened: Harper's cycle started with a bang, when he launched a first inning home run off Mets' starter David Peralta. The Phillies scored twice more in the second, courtesy of RBI doubles from J.T. Realmuto and Justin Crawford. The floodgates opened in the third. Eight Phillies runs crossed the plate, with Schwarber hitting a pair of home runs in the inning, both traveling over 450 feet. Harper would collect a hustle double and a single in the inning, getting him closer to the cycle. Bryson Stott, Realmuto and Trea Turner all contributed RBI hits. Harper completed his cycle in the fifth, scoring two more runs with a triple to center. Schwarber capped the scoring with this third home run of the night in the seventh.

Schwarber went 4 for 5 with four runs scored and six RBIs, while Harper countered by going 4 for 5 with a pair of runs scored and three RBIs. All this happened while Cristopher Sanchez was on the mound, cruising to his ninth win of the year.
Featured Card: I created a Chachi Highlight card in 2023 when Turner homered twice in one inning. Schwarber joins Turner, Von Hayes and Andy Seminick as the only four Phillies players to accomplish the feat. Harper became the first Phillie to hit for the cycle since Weston Wilson did it back in 2024, and he now owns the 11th cycle in Phillies history.
