Schwarber, Harper Reach Milestones as Phillies Surge

Kyle Schwarber hit his 300th career home run with a 466-foot shot at Coors Field, becoming the 11th active MLB player and 163rd overall to reach the milestone, and tying Shohei Ohtani for the major-league lead in homers this season. Bryce Harper also reached 1,000 career RBIs, joining an elite group as the only active player with 1,000 hits, walks, and RBIs before age 33. The Phillies continued their strong performance, with Zack Wheeler pitching six shutout innings in a 5-2 win over the Pirates and Bryson Stott contributing offensively. Harper’s recent hot streak and the team’s ability to rally late in games, such as their 8-4 comeback victory against the Pirates, have strengthened their position in the National League. These individual and team achievements highlight the Phillies' momentum as they await the return of key players. The team’s stars are setting historic marks while maintaining a strong run in the MLB season.
