The Philadelphia Phillies secured a 3-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Thursday, wrapping up a dominant series sweep. The win improved the Phillies’ early-season record to 5-1, while the Rockies slipped to 1-5. Throughout the series, Philadelphia clearly had the upper hand, outscoring Colorado 14-3 over the three games.
One of the standout moments came courtesy of Kyle Schwarber, who delivered a clutch solo home run in the bottom of the seventh inning to extend the Phillies’ lead to 2-0. The 11-year veteran crushed the ball 444 feet over the right-center field wall at Citizens Bank Park. Schwarber’s blast was his fourth homer of the season, and he’s now batting .308 with eight RBIs through six games — a red-hot start for the 32-year-old slugger.
Schwarber’s power has long been a trademark of his game. He’s tallied an impressive 288 career home runs in 1,135 MLB games, including 135 in just 475 games since joining the Phillies in 2022. His latest long ball is just another reminder of the elite power he brings to the lineup. If this start is any indication, it should be exciting to watch what he does next.
