Philadelphia Phillies DFS SPIN
Kyle Schwarber went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer on Thursday, leading the Phillies to a 6-2 victory over the Padres. Schwarber homered for the second consecutive contest, putting the Phillies ahead with a tie-breaking two-run homer to center field against Padres’ starter Joe Musgrove in the sixth inning. It was his 20th round-tripper of the season. The 29-year-old slugger has remained an on-base machine and reliable source of over-the-fence pop this season in his Phillies debut, hitting .218/.342/.500 with 50 runs scored, 20 homers and 41 RBI across 301 plate appearances. He’s even chipped in three stolen bases, just for good measure.
San Diego Padres DFS SPIN
Eric Hosmer drilled a solo homer on Thursday in the Padres’ loss to the Phillies. Hosmer put the Padres on the board in the early stages of the contest with a solo homer to right field against Phillies’ starter Ranger Suárez. It was his sixth long ball of the season. He also singled in the fourth inning to cap off a multi-hit effort. The 32-year-old veteran first baseman is hitting .282/.346/.407 with 25 runs scored, six homers and 31 RBI across 266 plate appearances.
