There have been no teams in MLB history with as many four home run games as the Philadelphia Phillies.<\/p>\n
Kyle Schwarber emphasized that on Thursday night with an epic performance.<\/p>\n
He hit four Schwarbombs in a massive clobbering of the Atlanta Braves.<\/p>\n
In the process, Schwarber became the 21st player in MLB history to go deep four ties in a ballgame.<\/p>\n
KYLE SCHWARBER FOUR-HOMER GAME OMG pic.twitter.com\/Z5OL7Miojm<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Jomboy Media (@JomboyMedia) August 29, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n The second player to ever do it was the first Phillies slugger to do so: Ed Delahanty.<\/p>\n Delahanty’s was crazy, because he hit two inside-the-park homers as part of his historic performance. He only hit 101 HRs in his whole career, including the four-HR game back in 1896, which the Phillies lost 9-8.<\/p>\n Chuck Klein did it in 1936. He had quite the career, also hitting for the cycle twice at different stages.<\/p>\n Mike Schmidt made it happen in 1976 in a ridiculous 18-16 Phillies win over the Cubs.<\/p>\n Schmidt didn’t hit his first homer that night until the fifth inning, and he needed the 10th inning to hit his fourth.<\/p>\n And now Schwarber, who has also taken over the National League lead for home runs with 49 and counting.<\/p>\n He’s the third player this season to hit four home runs in a game, joining Eugenio Suarez and Nick Kurtz. That’s the most it’s ever happened in a single season.<\/p>\n On Thursday night, Schwarber went deep in the first inning, the fourth inning, the fifth inning and the seventh inning. His first five at bats, in which he was 4-for-5 with the four homers, gave him nine RBI for the night.<\/p>\n He raised his season OPS to .957 with the four long shots.<\/p>\n Schwarber is also making quite the statement before his contract runs out at the end of the season.<\/p>\n He’s going to be a free agent, and he’s going to get a lot of money from somewhere. It doesn’t hurt that he’ll have a four-homer game on his resume.<\/p>\n MORE:\u00a0Cody Bellinger ties Don Mattingly on MLB home run record list<\/a><\/p>\n
