Edmundo Sosa somehow tops Kyle Schwarber as Phillies set franchise home run record

You never know what you're going to see on a baseball field on a given night. Even on game 158 of the season, some special things can happen at the ballpark. The Philadelphia Phillies had quite the statement win on Wednesday with an 11-1 onslaught against their division rival Miami Marlins.

The victory locked up the No. 2 seed in the NL, securing a first-round bye in the process. Their eight home runs hit also set a franchise record, led by shortstop Edmundo Sosa.
