Phillies Win 5th Straight, Schwarber Hits 300th Home Run

Kyle Schwarber reached a major career milestone by hitting his 300th home run during the Philadelphia Phillies' 9-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies, launching a 466-foot solo shot in the ninth inning. Schwarber joined an elite group as the 11th active player with 300 career homers and the sixth to reach that mark while with the Phillies, alongside Bryce Harper and Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt. Earlier in the week, Schwarber also contributed to the Phillies' fifth consecutive win, hitting his 17th home run and tying Shohei Ohtani for the major league lead. The Phillies have been dominant against the Rockies this season, holding a 5-0 record with a combined 30-10 score. Schwarber's performance this season projects him to finish with a high home run total, potentially ranking him among the MLB's all-time leaders. After hitting his milestone homer, Schwarber traded for the ball with a fan, intending to keep it as a treasured keepsake from his career.
