Sometimes, it’s all about the star players stepping up.

Kyle Schwarber homered twice and Zack Wheeler dominated the Cleveland Guardians’ lineup over seven innings in a 3-0 win on Sunday Night Baseball to clinch a series victory over one of the best teams in the American League. The Phillies (24-16) will fly home late Sunday after going 5-1 on the road trip. Since being swept by the Mets in New York, the Phillies are 11-5.

The Phillies’ star designated hitter gave his team a 1-0 lead in the top of the second against starter Luis L. Ortiz.
