Kyle Schwarber's on-base streak has been a culmination of the improvements the Phillies slugger has made at the plate.

Schwarber, two homers shy of 300, has always slugged. But he’s become more than that for the Phillies with free agency on the horizon.

Schwarber has evolved into an elite left-on-left hitter by changing his preparation, equipment and, perhaps more than anything, his mind.

Is Kyle Schwarber having the best year of his career? He’s tied for the MLB lead in homers, he’s more than halfway to Ted Williams’ record of 84 straight games reaching base, and he’s top 10 in the majors in OBP. Pretty good way to head into free agency, all told. [ MLB.com]

Back in the national spotlight on Sunday Night Baseball, the National League’s best pitcher tossed seven scoreless innings and its top slugger banged two homers. Together, Wheeler and Schwarber carried the Phillies to a 3-0 victory over the Guardians and a fifth consecutive winning series.

The Phillies shut out the Guardians on Sunday night behind a great pitching performance from Zack Wheeler and a multi-homer game from Kyle Schwarber.

Kyle Schwarber homered twice to tie Aaron Judge for the major league lead and extended his on-base streak to 46 games, and Zack Wheeler struck out eight over seven innings as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Cleveland Guardians 3-0.
