Schwaber's Double Night Proves All-Around Evolution Again The Phillies beat the Guardians 3-0 to snap a five-game winning streak

Kyle Schwarber ended the suspense with three balls against the Guardians on Sunday: a second game against Louis Schwarber. Luis L. Ortiz's speedball blasted the ball into the right field stand (392 feet) at 112.5mph, opening a record 46 consecutive games on base and giving the Phillies a lead. In eight innings, he fired another 397-foot two-point gun to seal the victory and lead the team to a 3-0 victory.

'When the opponent tries to play a corner against him, he can pick up a guarantee; When opponents go head-to-head, he responds with a home run," praised Phillies coach Rob Thomson, "and that resilience is key to his evolution into an all-round hitter." "

Thomson likened Schwaber's metamorphosis to Curtis Granderson's transition in New York, where current Phillies striker coach Kevin Long helped the Phillies boost his left-throw stats (0.210/16 under the Tigers to 0.241/36 under the Yankees).

Before moving to the Philadelphia, Schwaber's career batting percentage from 0.214/18 on the left hand has improved to 0.234/43 (663 hits). This season, he has batted 0.306/0.443/0.735 on left-hand shots, and his consecutive home base games have been extended to 46 games after Sunday's double hit (starting with the September 23, 2024 battle to lock up the National League Eastern Championship), during which he batted 0.262, contributed 16 hits and 37 RBIs, and maintained a strikeout ratio of 33:43.

Schwaber's firepower support made starting pitcher Zack Wheeler's seven-innings no-deficit performance even more valuable. Wheeler hit only three hits and two abandonments, eight strikeouts and 51 starts in the last five seasons to make seven innings, tied with Framber Valdez and Logan Webb for the first place in MLB.

"Even though there was some imbalance in the ball and the speed of the ball dropped, the ball quality and speed were still excellent," Thomson said of Wheeler's performance. Since being swept by the Mets at the end of April, the Phillies have won five series in a row. "We're learning to take the key shot," Schwaber said, "and it's momentum that has to be continued." "
