Shohei Ohtani BLASTS his 44th homer of the season 🔥 https://t.co/FvHZ8jSCMX
Kyle Schwarber belted his 44th homer of the season Tuesday night against Seattle, briefly pushing the Philadelphia Phillies slugger past Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani for the Major League lead. Ohtani responded less than an hour later with a 408-foot shot of his own at Dodger Stadium, matching Schwarber at 44 and reigniting a home-run race that now heads into the final six weeks of the regular season deadlocked. Schwarber’s blast highlighted a power-laden evening for Philadelphia that also featured two home runs from Bryce Harper and a three-run shot by Trea Turner, the latter marking the shortstop’s 1,500th career hit. Left-hander Cristopher Sánchez struck out 11 Mariners, equaling his personal best, as the Phillies opened a 7–0 cushion before the fourth inning.
