Philadelphia Phillies DFS SPIN
Kyle Schwarber blasted a go-ahead two-run homer off of Adam Ottavino in the seventh inning on Saturday, powering the Phillies to a 4-1 victory over the Mets. Schwarber got ahead in the count 2-1, then pulverized a 95.7 mph fastball for his 435-foot game-changing blast. It was his only hit in four at-bats on the night, but proved to be the difference in the contest. Schwarber has now slugged five home runs and driven in 13 runs on the season, but has done so while slashing a woeful .167/.298/.423.
