BOSTON (AP) — Kyle Schwarber feels his surge is just getting started. Scwharber tied a Phillies record by homering for the fifth consecutive game, hitting his major league-high 17th to lead Philadelphia over the Boston Red Sox 2-1 on Tuesday night . “I feel I can get better," Schwarber said.

“Obviously, good results. I’m more kind of looking at the overall days. Kind of the last two where I felt like it was multiple good at-bats versus just kind of one.

Those are the things I more care about. ” Schwarber has six homers in a five-game span for the first time. The 33-year-old joined Bobby Abreu, Dick Allen, Odúbel Herrera, Rhys Hoskins, Mike Schmidt, Trea Turner and Chase Utley as Phillies homering in five games in a row.

The most recent had been Turner from Aug. 8 to Sept. 2, 2023.
