Kyle Schwarber homered off Dylan Dodd in the bottom of the seventh, a 371-foot solo shot with a 107.0 mph exit velocity and a 25-degree launch for his 42nd home run of the 2026 season. The blast came at Citizens Bank Park and put Philadelphia up 4-1 over Atlanta. Stat lines posted for the play list it as a homer that would clear 28 of 30 MLB ballparks, with non-home-run projections in Boston and Colorado. One post recorded the long ball as Schwarber's career homer number 382 and projected a 2026 pace of 48 home runs. Schwarber started the game in the Phillies lineup batting first as the designated hitter; Zack Wheeler and the bullpen are noted elsewhere in the game coverage but Schwarber's seventh-inning homer was the key run-scoring swing in the frame.
