Schwarber Ties Phillies 40-Homer Record

Kyle Schwarber hit his MLB-leading 40th home run Wednesday, driving a 98-mph fastball 425 feet into right-center field for a three-run shot that gave the Phillies a 6-0 lead over the Mariners. The 33-year-old now ties former Phillie Ryan Howard for the most 40-plus homer seasons in franchise history. Schwarber is also tied with Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge for the most 40-plus homer seasons among active players. With 227 homers in his first five seasons with Philadelphia, he trails only Babe Ruth (235) in that category. musojam.blog
