Kyle Schwarber News: Goes yard from cleanup spot

Schwarber 2-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's 7-3 extra-inning win over Washington.

Batting out of the No. 4 spot in Philadelphia's lineup, Schwarber played the part of a prototypical cleanup hitter with a go-ahead, solo homer in the seventh inning. The star slugger has recorded at least 100 runs scored in each of his past three seasons while working primarily as a leadoff hitter, but any drop in runs while hitting cleanup would likely be offset by the added RBI opportunities.
