Schwarber’s homer is the ninth of the season for the 32-year-old slugger, and it gave the Phillies a 3-0 lead in the first inning. He’s gone deep in back-to-back games, and he ended the month of April with six roundtrippers with the other three coming in March. There are very few better power producers in the sport than Schwarber, and while he doesn’t contribute in many other categories, it’s certainly good enough that you want him in your fantasy lineup.

Realmuto had not homered since April 15, but the 34-year-old backstop took Eduardo Salazar deep to extend the Phillies lead to 7-2. He also singled to improve his slash to a still-shaky .237/.308/.361 over the first 30 games of the 2025 campaign. If not for the positional value, Realmuto would be unplayable. Because he’s a catcher, you can probably do worse. Weird how that works.

Kepler gave Philadelphia a lead of 6-2 with a solo homer off an ineffective Jake Irvin. The 32-year-old has been solid — if unspectacular — in his first full month with the Phillies, but it’s nice to see some power showing up with homers in two of the last four games after just one roundtripper in the month of April prior to that run.

Sánchez left his last outing with forearm soreness, and while the 28-year-old did issue three walks, it didn’t appear to be bugging him too much. The southpaw scattered five hits and a pair of walks, and he struck out six. It’s far from a dominant effort from Sánchez, but effective enough. He’ll get the start again Tuesday when the Phillies take on the Rays.

With the score tied at 1-1, Rooker came to the plat against Luke Jackson and clobbered a pitch from Jackson over the left-field fence to give the A’s a 3-1 lead. The Athletics would score four more on a grand slam by Lawrence Butler in the inning to turn a nailbiter into a blowout. Rooker has gone deep eight times in 30 games — putting him around a 40-homer pace — and remains one of the most underrated offensive weapons in the sport of baseball.

Santander came through with the biggest moment of his Blue Jays debut, delivering a clutch seventh-inning homer against Red Sox reliever Garrett Whitlock to help Toronto erase an early six-run deficit. It was his fourth big fly of the season. It wound up being his lone hit in five at-bats, but it made a significant impact in a comeback victory.

McCutchen got the big hit in this one when he squeaked a ground ball up the middle that Dansby Swanson inadvertently kicked into shallow center field. That mishap allowed both Bryan Reynolds and Isiah Kiner-Falefa to score and give the Pirates a late lead that they wouldn’t relinquish. While McCutchen began the season in more of a part-time role, he’s started in 12 of Pittsburgh’s last 13 games and has slugged his way to an .826 OPS overall.
