PHILADELPHIA – Kyle Schwarber stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded in the bottom of the sixth. It was his second time up to bat in an inning that probably should have been over a while ago. Schwarber and Bryce Harper made the first two outs, then the Phillies caught a break on a J.T. Realmuto safe call that could have been overturned.
With four runs already in and the bases loaded, the crowd of over 41,000 rose to its feet. MVP, MVP. Schwarber, the star of the Phillies’ season, had already homered into the second deck in right field.
