Phillies Shut Out Rockies 6-0 on Schwarber HRs

Philadelphia Phillies 6, Colorado Rockies 0

Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Colorado Rockies 6-0 on Sunday at Citizens Bank Park, powered by two home runs from Kyle Schwarber and one from Bryce Harper in a matchup that capped a strong homestand for the hosts.

Schwarber, who entered the game with three consecutive home runs over the prior three contests, extended his streak to four games with a 432-foot drive to center field off Rockies starter Tomoyuki Sugano in the first inning. Harper followed immediately with his 10th homer of the season into the Philadelphia bullpen, giving the Phillies an early 2-0 lead. Schwarber added his second homer, a liner to right field, in the second inning, boosting the margin to 5-0. The blasts tied Schwarber with New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge for the major league lead at 16 home runs through 41 games.

The Phillies tacked on their final run in the sixth when Brandon Marsh, who went 4 for 4 with four singles, scored on a single by Alec Bohm. Marsh now leads the majors with a .353 batting average. Bryson Stott contributed with a leadoff double and later a sacrifice fly in the second.
