WATCH: Kyle Schwarber crushes THREE home runs, including 2 in the same inning during historic slaughter of the New York Mets

While Bryce Harper was busy hitting for the cycle on Saturday night, Kyle Schwarber was doing something equally absurd on the other side of the lineup by launching three home runs against the Mets, including two in the same inning that landed in almost the exact same spot in the upper deck at Citizens Bank Park.

The Phillies beat New York 15-3 in a game where the two best hitters on the roster both had historic nights at the same time, which is the kind of thing that shouldn’t be possible in a single baseball game but apparently is when the Mets’ pitching staff decides to serve batting practice on a Saturday night in June.

Kyle Schwarber led off the bottom of the third inning with a 456-foot home run that reached the upper deck and then, after the Phillies batted around during an eight-run rally, came back up in the same inning and hit a 457-foot bomb to almost the identical location.

Two homers in the same inning with a combined distance of 913 feet that landed within a few seats of each other in the upper deck. The fans sitting in that section got two Schwarber souvenirs in the span of about 20 minutes and didn’t even have to move to catch either one.

Kyle Schwarber HR No. 1

Kyle Schwarber HR No. 2

Kyle Schwarber even added a two-run homer in the seventh inning because apparently two wasn’t enough, marking the fifth time in his career that he’s hit three or more home runs in a single game.

Most players go their entire careers without hitting three in a game once and Schwarber has done it five times because the man was built in a laboratory specifically to hit baseballs as far as humanly possible while looking like he should be coaching a recreational softball league.

The Two-Homer Inning Is What Blew My Mind

I’ve watched a lot of baseball and I’ve seen plenty of multi-homer games, but watching a guy hit two homers in the same inning to almost the exact same spot in the upper deck is something I’ve never seen before and might never see again.

The first one was a 456-foot rocket that cleared the upper deck and had the crowd on its feet before Kyle Schwarber had even finished his trot. Then the Phillies kept hitting and kept scoring and the lineup batted all the way around back to Schwarber, who stepped in against the Mets’ pitching staff for the second time in the same inning and hit a 457-foot drive that followed almost the same trajectory to almost the same seats.

The symmetry of those two home runs is almost impossible to comprehend because hitting a baseball 456 feet is rare enough on its own, and then doing it again one foot farther to the same section of the stadium in the same inning against the same team is the kind of statistical coincidence that makes you wonder if the simulation is broken.

Schwarber’s swing doesn’t change regardless of the count, the situation, or how many times he’s already gone deep in the game because the man sees a pitch he can drive and he drives it 450 feet every single time without apology.

Harper and Schwarber Made History Together

The Phillies became only the second team in MLB history to have a player hit for the cycle and a teammate hit three or more home runs in the same game, joining the 1932 Yankees when Lou Gehrig hit four home runs and Tony Lazzeri hit for the cycle.

That’s 94 years of baseball between these two performances happening on the same night for the same team, and the Phillies are now sharing a historical record with a Yankees squad from the Great Depression era.

Harper going 4-for-5 with the cycle and Schwarber going deep three times with two in the same inning in the same game on the same night is the kind of dual performance that defines a season for a franchise.

Saturday night at Citizens Bank Park wasn’t just a good game from the Phillies’ two best hitters, it was a historically unprecedented night that put both of their names in the record books alongside some of the greatest individual performances in the 150-year history of professional baseball.

Kyle Schwarber’s Season Numbers Are Getting Ridiculous

The three-homer game pushed Kyle Schwarber further ahead in the Major League home run race and cemented his status as the most dangerous power hitter in the National League by a wide margin.

He’s already the only Phillie in franchise history to hit 25 homers before the All-Star break and Saturday night added three more to the total in a game where every swing looked like it was hit by a man who has a personal vendetta against the baseball itself.

The Home Run Derby at Citizens Bank Park in July is going to be must-watch television if Schwarber is in it because the man is hitting balls 456 and 457 feet in regular games against actual pitching. Put him in a Derby format with the crowd behind him and the pressure off and he might put one on the roof of the parking garage across the street.

Saturday Belonged to Harper and Schwarber

Every hitter in the lineup contributed to the 15-3 beatdown of the Mets and the team needed the offensive explosion after dropping the first two games of the series, but Saturday night was Harper and Schwarber’s night from the first inning to the last.

Harper hit for the cycle in five innings with a heavier bat and Schwarber hit three homers including two in the same inning to the same section of the upper deck, and trying to decide which performance was more impressive is impossible because both of them did things that most players never accomplish once in an entire career.

The Phillies’ offense has been one of the worst in baseball for most of the season and has been carried by pitching through every close game and every tight series since Mattingly took over.

Saturday was the night where the bats didn’t just show up but put on a show that this city will be talking about for years, and doing it against the Mets makes it even sweeter because beating New York by 12 runs while two of your best players make history is the exact kind of energy this team has needed all season.

Wheeler gets the ball Sunday for the series finale and if the Phillies can ride Saturday’s momentum into a series split, the Harper cycle and the Schwarber three-homer game become the signature moment of the first half rather than just an incredible night in a series they lost.

Kyle Schwarber hit two home runs to the same spot in the upper deck in the same inning and then hit a third one later because he felt like it.

There is no player in baseball more fun to watch when the power is rolling and Saturday night at Citizens Bank Park was the Kyle Schwarber experience at its absolute peak.
