Kyle Schwarber’s Unstoppable Power Surge: Can Anyone Stop His Homer Streak?
Kyle Schwarber has now hit four home runs in his last four swings. The Philadelphia Phillies slugger took two pitches — a ball and then a strike — before teeing up a 366-foot “Schwarbomb” to right-center field in the bottom of the first inning Friday night against the Los Angeles Angels.
Schwarber rounded the bases for his 31st home run of the season.

His three consecutive dingers two days earlier came during the MLB All-Star Game’s first-ever swing-off.
Both the American League — which forced the thrilling tiebreaker after putting the finishing touches on a multi-inning, six-run comeback in the ninth frame — and the National League sent three players to the plate. Each of those players were given three swings to hit as many home runs as they could in what took on the form of a much quicker Home Run Derby, of course with higher stakes.
