That’s two Schwarbombs in two games for Schwarbs, who already has four hits and four RBI this season. He is on pace to hit 162 dingers and knock in 324 runs.
Somewhat ironically, he already has a homer as a leadoff hitter and a homer as a cleanup hitter, so you feel pretty good about putting him anywhere in the lineup. Captain Obvious checking in. Trea Turner didn’t play Saturday because of a back spasm, thus the change in the order against Jake Irvin.
On the Phillies’ all-time home run list, Schwarbs is right on Darren Daulton’s heels for 18th place. He needs two to clear Dutch (RIP) and then will be 13 homers from catching Rhys Hoskins. He’s on 133 right now and getting to 150 puts him in a tie with Scott Rolen and Mike Lieberthal for 15th. Here’s the top 20:
- Michael Jack Schmidt: 548
- Ryan Howard: 382
- Del Ennis: 259
- Pat Burrell: 251
- Chuck Klein: 243
- Chase Utley: 233
- Greg Luzinski: 223
- Cy Williams: 217
- Jimmy Rollins: 216
- Dick Allen: 204
- Bobby Abreu: 195
- Johnny Callison: 185
- Willie Jones: 180
- Bryce Harper: 153
- Scott Rolen: 150
- Mike Lieberthal: 150
- Rhys Hoskins: 148
- Darren Daulton: 134
- Kyle Schwarber: 133
- Von Hayes: 124
