Right now, it is Kyle Schwarber‘s league, and everybody else just happens to be playing in it. The Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter continued his white-hot month of July — and incredible season at the plate — on Friday night in a 12-5 win over the New York Yankees, going 3-for-5 with two more home runs and four runs batted in.
He is now up to 36 home runs on the season, and within striking distance of a Phillies franchise record.
His 36 home runs are tied for the most for a Phillies player through 103 games, and have him on a pace for around 56 home runs for the season. The team’s single-season record is the 58 home runs hit by former first baseman Ryan Howard during the 2006 season.
