Kyle Schwarber Goes Nuclear: 4 Homers, 9 RBIs, and a Phillies 19-4 beatdown of the Braves

Citizens Bank Park turned into a launchpad Thursday night, and Kyle Schwarber was the only man holding the controls. Four home runs. Nine RBIs. A franchise record. A Braves funeral.

The Phillies absolutely mauled Atlanta, 19-4, behind Schwarber’s historic performance — becoming just the fourth Phillie ever and the 21st player in MLB history to hit four bombs in a single game. Mike Schmidt was the last to do it, all the way back in 1976.

Schwarber’s Night, In Order

• 1st inning: Solo shot to right off Cal Quantrill.
• 4th inning: Two-run blast against lefty Austin Cox.
• 5th inning: Three-run oppo taco, chants raining down, ballgame basically over.
• 7th inning: Three-run nuke off Wander Suero to right.
• 8th inning: Nearly made it five, but popped out against position player Vidal Bruján.

Final line: 4-for-6, 4 HR, 9 RBIs, 49 total bombs on the season, MLB-leading 119 RBIs.

Historic. Ridiculous. Video game stuff.

The Fallout

Kyle Schwarber now sits alone atop the NL home run race (49) and just one back of Cal Raleigh for the MLB lead. He’s blown past his previous career high (47 in 2023) and shows no signs of slowing.

The Phillies as a team joined the party too. Bryce Harper, J.T. Realmuto, and Max Kepler all went yard. Aaron Nola gave up three runs in a shaky, 37-pitch first inning, but after Schwarber answered, the game flipped and never came back.

The Fightins finished with 20 hits, 19 runs, and about 40,000 grinning fans who’ll never forget it.

Bottom Line

There are regular-season wins. There are statement wins. Then there’s hanging 19 on Atlanta while Kyle Schwarber goes nuclear.

Up next: Ranger Suárez vs. Bryce Elder on Friday night.
