Schwarber went back-to-back with Trea Turner off Giants starter Adrian Houser to open the ballgame, with his being a gargantuan 446-foot (112.4 mph) blast to right-center. He then doubled in the fifth inning and scored on a two-run knock off the bat of Adolis Garcia. The 33-year-old slugger also smacked a game-tying RBI double with two outs in the ninth inning that forced extra innings. He’s now slashing .225/.381/.595 to go with 11 long balls and 20 RBI on the season.

Schwarber finished 1-for-2 with two walks as Logan Webb showed little interest in pitching to him after allowing a shot into the second deck down the right-field line. The burly slugger is off to a .196/.358/.533 start in his first 30 games of the season, with a surprisingly high 37.3 percent strikeout rate driving the lower average. That rate was only 32.6 percent last year.

Schwarber finally got the Phillies on the board in the eighth inning of this one, blasting a 3-2 curveball from Aaron Bummer for a 377-foot (103.4 mph EV) two-run shot, pulling the Phillies to within four runs at 6-2. He also walked in the ballgame. The 33-year-old slugger is hitting just .196/.344/.520 on the season, though he’s delivering in the power department with nine long balls and 17 RBI.

Schwarber has homered twice in his last three games, but he’s hitting just .143 (4-for-28) with three RBI over his last seven games. The Phillies have been abysmal in recent weeks and have scored the third-fewest runs in baseball this season. It’s not what you want. They’ll attempt to snap an eight-game losing streak during Thursday’s series finale.

Alas, he couldn’t do it again in the ninth. With the Braves down two and having two men on base, he lined out to right to end the game. Schwarber’s homer off Grant Holmes was his fifth of the year. He’s batting .227/.376/.560 through 21 games.

Schwarber’s homer was a three-run shot off Brandon Pfaadt. It was his fourth of the year and 344th of his career, moving him into a tie with Jose Bautista and Curtis Granderson on the all-time list. He’ll move into the top 100 once he gets to 354. Harper is already there; his 366th today tied Lance Berkman for 89th place.

This was a lackluster effort by the Phillies’ offense against Tyler Mahle and what’s been a poor Giants bullpen so far this season. They were shutout and couldn’t muster up a single extra-base hit. Schwarber was on base often as he has been early this season, he’s just not getting many actual hits. He’s now drawn 11 walks to go along with three home runs and two doubles, but just two singles.

Schwarber swatted a solo homer off Zack Littell to give Philadelphia a 1-0 lead, and Schwarber his second homer of the season. The power has been present, but the 33-year-old has hit just .158 over the first five games of the season. Don’t expect Schwarber to be among the average leaders in 2026, but that number is sure to increase in the coming weeks, if not days.

Great Britain took an immediate 1-0 lead on Nate Eaton’s leadoff homer and maintained it for four innings, but Team USA’s offense took over afterwards, with Schwarber’s homer opening the floodgates.

Schwarber’s homer off Braxton Ashcraft was a no-doubter launched 438 feet to right. Ashcraft’s mistake was not sticking with his strategy from 2025; he intentionally walked Schwarber the one time the two were set to face off last season.

The deal is now official. Schwarber returns to Philadelphia following a transcendent campaign where he batted .240/.365/.563 with a career-high 56 round-trippers, 132 RBI and 10 steals over 162 games, finishing second in NL MVP balloting. Fantasy managers can safely project the 32-year-old run-producing wrecking ball to finish in the 40-homer neighborhood as one of the premier four-category contributors in the entire landscape. He’ll be a late-second or early-third round selection in all fantasy drafts next spring.

The 32-year-old also drew a walk to push is slash in the three-game series to .182/.308/.727. The win keeps Philadelphia alive, and the Phillies will try and stave off elimination again Thursday in Game 4.

As Passan notes, it’s incredibly rare for a 33-year-old player who is a DH-only to get so much money. Especially one with a career track record of high strikeout totals and poor batting average; however, he plays every day and leads the National League in home runs and RBI. While a return to Philadelphia feels likely, Passan believes that plenty of teams - Like Texas, San Diego, Atlanta, Houston, Detroit, and Cincinnati - might be willing to pay top dollar for Schwarber.

Schwarber followed up his historic four-home run performance with a much more tame outing here. Yet, he scored both of the Phillies’ runs on their way to a grind-it-out victory over the Braves where they were out-hit 12 to six. He came home with the winning run after a seven-pitch battle against reliever Dylan Lee that ended with him muscling a single to right field, advancing from first to third on a single, and coming home on a sacrifice fly. That’s called range, folks.

The 32-year-old slugger got things started in the opening inning with a colossal 450-foot (111.7 mph EV) solo shot off of Cal Quantrill. He then victimized Austin Cox in the fourth inning for a 383-foot (102.7 mph EV) two-run shot. He tagged Cox again in the fifth inning — that time for a 378-foot (101.0 mph EV) three-run blast that extended the Phillies’ lead to 15-3. He then crushed a 407-foot (108.9 mph EV) three-run blast off of Wander Suero in the seventh that made it 18-4. Schwarber finished the historic evening 4-for-6 with nine RBI. While it’s just the 21st instance of a four-homer game in MLB history, astonishingly, it’s the third time that it has happened already this season with Schwarber joining Nick Kurtz and Eugenio Suarez. He’s now slashing .248/.370/.586 with 49 homers and 119 RBI on the season.

While this game was mostly tight throughout, the Phillies blew it wide open late with 10 runs over the final three innings against the Yankees’ beleaguered bullpen. Schwarber was right in the middle of that onslaught with a two-run, eighth inning homer that was scorched at 115.2 mph. He also accounted for the only damage done against opposing starter Will Warren with another two-run, 113.8 mph shot in the fifth inning. He added a 108.9 mph lineout between those and is in the middle of a special power surge with 10 home runs in his last 15 games.
