Kyle Schwarber's personal swing-off continued Friday night. Schwarber homered on his first swing of the second half after going 3 for 3 in the All-Star Game swing-off this past Tuesday, giving him a home run on four straight swings.

Philadelphia Phillies owner John Middleton confirmed that the team is interested in signing designated hitter Kyle Schwarber to a new contract.

Since Schwarber signed with the Phillies in 2022, he has hit 162 with the club — the third-most home runs in baseball behind only Aaron Judge (192) and Shohei Ohtani (164). His 12 home runs in the postseason since 2022 are tied with teammate Bryce Harper for the most in baseball.
