Phillies' Slugger Schwarber Reaches 100 RBIs for Third Straight Season
16 Aug
Summary
- Schwarber hits 43rd homer, tying Ohtani
- Schwarber reaches 100 RBIs for 3rd straight year
- Phillies hope Schwarber's power leads them to World Series
On August 15th, 2025, the Philadelphia Phillies opened their weekend series against the Washington Nationals. In the game, Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber and teammate Bryce Harper accounted for all six of the team's RBIs. Schwarber hit a three-run home run, tying Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani for the league lead in home runs with 43.
Schwarber's home run in the eighth inning helped the Phillies extend their lead over the Nationals. The accomplishment also marked Schwarber's third consecutive season with at least 100 RBIs, further cementing his status as one of the league's top offensive weapons. The Phillies' fanbase hopes that Schwarber's power can help lead the team to its first World Series title since 2008.
The home run race between Schwarber, Ohtani, and Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh has been a captivating storyline this season. Schwarber currently trails Raleigh by two home runs, but he is well on track to set career highs in both home runs and RBIs if he maintains his current pace. Phillies manager Rob Thomson is confident that the team's recent trade deadline acquisitions, combined with Schwarber's dominance, will propel them to another deep playoff run.
