Schwarber keeps raking with laser HR vs. Tribe

CLEVELAND -- Progressive Field always seems to bring out the best in Kyle Schwarber.

In the building where he hit his first Major League home run and famously raked in the World Series after missing the vast majority of 2016, Schwarber keyed a two-run second inning in Tuesday's game against the Indians with one of the hardest-hit home runs of the young Major League season. Schwarber's solo shot on a 2-1 offering from Josh Tomlin was his fifth of the season, and at 117.1 mph, it had the fifth-highest exit velocity of any home run tracked by Statcast™ so far in 2018.
