Kyle Schwarber's Leadoff Homer (29) Powers Phillies to Victory
Schwarber Continues to Rake
Kyle Schwarber is on a tear. The Phillies left fielder hit his 29th home run of the season on Monday night, a solo shot off of Braves starter Spencer Strider. It was Schwarber's second home run in as many games and his fourth in the last seven games.
Schwarber's home run gave the Phillies an early 1-0 lead, and they went on to win the game 6-3. It was the Phillies' third straight win and moved them to within one game of .500.
Schwarber's Hot Start
Schwarber has been one of the most productive hitters in baseball this season. He is currently ranked in the top 10 in the National League in home runs, RBIs, and walks. He is also hitting .286 with a .974 OPS.
Schwarber's hot start has been a key factor in the Phillies' success this season. The Phillies are currently in contention for a wild-card berth, and Schwarber's power has been a big reason why.
Schwarber's Future
Schwarber is under contract with the Phillies through the 2023 season. He is arbitration-eligible this offseason, and he is expected to receive a significant raise.
The Phillies are hoping that Schwarber will continue to produce at a high level in the years to come. He is a key part of their offense, and he has the potential to be one of the best hitters in baseball.
