Kyle Schwarber Sets MLB Leadoff Home Run Record

Kyle Schwarber made headlines by hitting his 15th leadoff home run of the season in a game against the New York Mets, extending his MLB record. Despite Schwarber's efforts, the Philadelphia Phillies lost 6-3, preventing them from clinching the NL East title. The Mets' Sean Manaea secured his fourth consecutive win, dominating the game with 21 retired batters and only yielding three runs. Philadelphia's struggles were compounded by missed opportunities, as they remain two games away from clinching their first NL East title since 2011. With seven games left in the season, Schwarber is just one RBI shy of his second consecutive 100-RBI campaign and is on pace for his third straight 40-homer season. The Phillies must win their next game against the Mets to secure the division title.
