Last night, the Philadelphia Phillies crushed five home runs while Zack Wheeler delivered a dominating performance on the mound to defeat the Atlanta Braves 7-1.

Over six strong innings, Wheeler allowed just three hits and one earned run, while walking two and striking out five Braves batters. The only run he allowed last night was on a solo home run from Ozzie Albies in the bottom of the first inning as the Braves jumped out to an early 1-0 lead.

• The longest was Schwarber’s home run in the NLCS against San Diego.
• It was the third longest home run in the MLB this season and the second-longest ever at Truist Park.

Kyle Schwarber is putting together one of the most hilarious stat lines in MLB regular season history.

Baseball historians will look back at these numbers dumbfounded and once they realize he’s been doing almost all of it from the leadoff spot, they might find a new hobby.
