Kyle Schwarber has hit 50 home runs in a season for the first time in his career. The Philadelphia Phillies slugger reached the milestone with a three-run shot against the New York Mets on Tuesday night. Schwarber has become one of the most feared hitters in baseball during his four years with the Phillies. He is within reach of the team’s season record of 58 homers set by Ryan Howard in 2006. Schwarber’s homer gave the Phillies a 7-1 lead, and he became the first National League player to reach 50 this season. Phillies fans celebrated by chanting “MVP! MVP!”
