Kyle Schwarber hits 3 homers, Bryce Harper hits for the cycle in Phillies' 15-3
rout of Mets
PHILADELPHIA (AP) --- Kyle Schwarber homered three times, including twice in
Philadelphia's eight-run third inning, and Bryce Harper hit for the cycle as
the Philadelphia Phillies routed the New York Mets 15-3 on Saturday night.
Schwarber led off the third inning with a 456-foot home run to the second deck
in right field off Mets starter Freddy Peralta (5-6). He capped the Phillies'
big inning with a 457-foot drive to almost the same spot off Cionel Perez.
Schwarber added a two-run homer in the seventh, his major league-leading 28th
of the season, off Tobias Myers. It was the fifth career three-homer game for
Schwarber, who was 4 for 5 with six RBIs and four runs scored in a season-high
offensive output for the Phillies.
Cristopher Snchez (9-3) allowed one earned run in six innings to lower his ERA
to 1.80. It's his 23rd straight start at Citizens Bank Park in which he allowed
two earned runs or fewer, the second-most such starts by a pitcher at the same
ballpark in MLB history since 1913, trailing only Jacob deGrom's 24 at Citi
Field for the Mets from Sept. 9, 2019 to Aug. 31, 2022.
Schwarber is the 67th player in major league history and second this season
with multiple home runs in an inning, joining Houston's Yordan Alvarez on June
12. Schwarber is the fourth Phillies player to hit two home runs in an inning,
along with Trea Turner (Aug. 19, 2023), Von Hayes (June 11, 1985) and Andy
Seminick (June 2, 1949).
Harper hit a solo home run in the first inning, his 16th of the year. He
doubled and singled in the third, then hit a two-run triple to the gap in
left-center field in the fifth for his first career cycle and the 11th in
Phillies history.
Peralta allowed 10 hits and a career-worst 10 earned runs in 2 2/3 innings. His
ERA rose from 3.90 to 4.83.
Mark Vientos homered off Snchez for the only run he allowed. Carson Benge hit
a two-run homer in the seventh.
Up next Zack Wheeler (6-1, 2.01 ERA) will wrap up the series Sunday night against his former team, while the Mets will start David Peterson (3-5, 5.91). --- AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb |
