Phillies continue beatdown of the Rockies, Schwarber, Harper fuel 5th straight win

The Phillies are rolling, and the Rockies are… well, the Rockies.

Behind 17 hits, a bomb from Kyle Schwarber, and another strong start from Jesús Luzardo, the Phillies knocked off Colorado 7–4 on Tuesday night to secure their fifth straight win and push their record in May to 14–5.

The victory also pushed The Fightins to 6-0 against the Rockies this season and kept them atop the National League standings.

Schwarber mashed his 17th homer of the year — a seventh-inning solo shot to dead center that tied Shohei Ohtani for the MLB lead — and added a walk and two runs scored.

Kyle Schwarber: Very good hitter of baseballs.

Bryce Harper kept the post-buzzcut heater going with a three-hit night, including a pair of doubles and an RBI in the opening frame that put the Phillies on top early. By the time the seventh inning rolled around, the Phillies led 7–1 and had battered Rockies pitching for 17 hits — 10 of them off starter Antonio Senzatela.

Jesús Luzardo (5-0, 2.00 ERA) made his case as the most important in-season pickup in baseball right now. He tossed six dominant innings with 10 strikeouts, allowing just two hits and one run in the thin air of Coors Field.

It was his third double-digit strikeout performance in five starts since joining the Phillies rotation. Not bad for a guy Miami gave up on.

Bryson Stott and Brandon Marsh each had three hits of their own, Alec Bohm knocked in another run, and Max Kepler doubled in Schwarber in the fifth. Trea Turner tacked on two hits in his third game back in the leadoff spot, and the Phillies looked like a team with answers up and down the lineup.

Colorado, meanwhile, dropped to a league-worst 8–40. They’ve now been outscored 30–10 by the Phillies in six games this season.

Phillies Rockies Game Notes:

Schwarber’s moonshot off Ryan Rolison in the seventh was his ninth homer off a lefty this season — a mark no team besides the Yankees has matched.

The Phillies have won 5 straight, 14 of their last 17, and are outscoring opponents 96–58 in May.

Up Next:

Taijuan Walker (1-3, 2.52 ERA) gets the ball Wednesday night as the Phils look to keep the good times rolling. He’ll face Rockies rookie Carson Palmquist (0-1, 11.25 ERA), who’s searching for answers after a rocky debut.

Another night, another win. The Fightins are cooking.
