Featured Card: Definitely Schwarber here. His final line shows 6 at bats, 4 runs, 5 hits and 6 RBIs. The slugger earned a Topps Now card and a Topps Now Road to Opening Day Bonus card for his feat, and here's his pose-appropriate Topps flagship card. Per Phillies Notes on X, Schwarber joined Mike Schmidt as the second player in franchise history with five hits and three home runs in the same game. Schmidt had done it in his four home run game against the Cubs on April 17, 1976.
