Kyle Schwarber sets Phillies record with MLB-best 30th homer in 5-4 win over

NEW YORK (AP) --- Kyle Schwarber became the first major leaguer to reach 30
homers this season with a two-run shot in the seventh inning that sent the
Philadelphia Phillies to a 5-4 win over the New York Mets on Sunday.
The Phillies squandered an early 3-0 lead and fell behind 4-3 before Schwarber
hit a 408-foot drive to center field off Kodai Senga (0-7), who was making the
first regular-season relief appearance of his big league career.
Schwarber connected in Philadelphia's 84th game --- the fastest anyone has
reached 30 homers in franchise history. He has six straight 30-homer seasons,
the longest active streak in the majors, and eight overall --- most among
active players.
Bryce Harper, Alec Bohm and Brandon Marsh all had third-inning RBIs for the
Phillies.
Kyle Backhus (1-0) got the final two outs in the sixth. Jhoan Duran threw a
hitless ninth for his 21st save.
Philadelphia starter Jess Luzardo allowed one run and struck out six in five
innings.
