Bryce Harper hits for cycle, Kyle Schwarber blasts three homers in Phillies blowout win over Mets

Kyle Schwarber led the NL over the AL in the 2025 MLB All-Star game with 3 HRs. Chris Broussard, Kevin Wildes, and Danny Parkins ask if the MLB should implement swing-offs in the regular season.

The Phillies' turnaround following the dismissal of manager Rob Thomson reached a new milestone when two of the franchise’s biggest stars delivered a historic performance.

Kyle Schwarber launched three home runs, including two in the third inning, while Bryce Harper completed the cycle to add yet another achievement to his accomplished career.

The offensive explosion powered Philadelphia to a 15-3 rout of the New York Mets on Saturday, as the Phillies continued their surge and received a signature performance from two of the game's most recognizable stars.

Schwarber’s first home run traveled 456 feet, while his second blast of the third inning measured 457 feet off Mets reliever Cionel Pérez.

He capped his night with a two-run homer in the seventh inning. Schwarber’s major league-leading home run total climbed to 28, and the performance marked the fifth three-homer game of his career.

Cristopher Sanchez allowed one earned run in six innings to lower his ERA to 1.80.

It’s his 23rd straight start at Citizens Bank Park in which he allowed two earned runs or fewer, the second-most such starts by a pitcher at the same ballpark in MLB history since 1913, trailing only Jacob deGrom’s 24 at Citi Field for the Mets from Sept. 9, 2019, to Aug. 31, 2022.
