Summary
Kyle Schwarber turned heads this week not just with his bat but his glove, making his first start at first base in over four years — a move manager Don Mattingly called a fun experiment that paid off. Schwarber, already tied for the MLB lead with 24 homers, blasted his 25th of the season in a dominant 8-2 Phillies win over the Marlins. The switch to defense didn’t slow him down — he’s now 10th all-time in Phillies homers, joining elite company, and his power surge since arriving in Philly rivals some of baseball’s greatest early-season performances.
