Kyle Schwarber hit 13th home run in the last 14 games but Miguel Rojas hit a three-run homer in a four-run first inning and the Miami Marlins went on to beat the Washington Nationals 11-2 Friday night.
Schwarber has the second-most homers in a 14-game span since at least 1901, behind only 14 by San Francisco’s Barry Bonds in 2001.
Schwarber hit his 22nd home run this season into the right field upper deck in the third inning, cutting Washington’s deficit to 4-1. His 12 home runs in his last 12 games are the most from a leadoff hitter ever in that span.
