Rookie pitcher Tyler Phillips thanked outfielder Kyle Schwarber for keeping Phillies in the game after the designated hitter’s second home run against the Dodgers.

Schwarber finished with three homers and tied a career high with seven RBIs, helping Philadelphia win two of three in the matchup of the National League’s two best teams.

“He was telling me, ‘Aww, that was huge what you did. You kept us in the game,'” said Phillips, who rebounded after the Dodgers took a 4-1 lead after two innings.

“I was like, ‘Dude, you just kind of gave us the lead. That was huge what you did,'” Phillips said.

Schwarber downplayed his exploits to the point where he and Phillips “were almost like getting in an argument,” the pitcher said. “It was really cool to be able to put a lot of faith in him.”

Schwarber led off the game with a two-strike shot off Gavin Stone, his 10th leadoff homer of the season.

He added a three-run blast in the sixth that gave Philadelphia an 8-4 lead.

Schwarber hit his 27th homer of the season leading off the ninth against Michael Grove. It was his second career three-run homer game, the last coming in 2021.

“I always say the biggest thing is just being able to trust your work in the cage,” Schwarber said. “You make adjustments, make tweaks, whatever it is, and you just go out there and compete in the game. It was a good result.”
