Phillies' Schwarber Blasts Leadoff Home Run vs. Blue Jays

No. 3 hitter continues to be a force in the Phillies lineup

Philadelphia Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber continued his hot start to the 2023 season with a leadoff home run against the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night.

Schwarber's homer came on the first pitch of the game from Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman. It was Schwarber's fourth home run of the season, and it gave the Phillies an early 1-0 lead.

Schwarber has been one of the most productive hitters in baseball since joining the Phillies last season. He hit 29 home runs and drove in 71 runs in 2022, and he is on pace to surpass those numbers this season.

Schwarber's hot start is a good sign for the Phillies

The Phillies are hoping to make a run at the World Series this season, and Schwarber's hot start is a good sign for their chances.

Schwarber is a middle-of-the-order bat who can provide power and protection for the Phillies' other hitters.

If Schwarber can continue to produce at a high level, the Phillies will be a tough team to beat in 2023.

Here are some additional highlights from Tuesday night's game:

• Bryce Harper went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI.
• Nick Castellanos went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI.
• Ranger Suarez pitched 5.1 innings, allowing two runs on five hits.
• The Phillies bullpen pitched 3.2 scoreless innings to secure the victory.
