Kyle Schwarber homered twice, Bryce Harper added a solo shot, and the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Colorado Rockies 6-0 on Sunday to win for the tenth time in thirteen games since Don Mattingly replaced Rob Thomson as manager.
Schwarber has five home runs in his last four games, tying him with the New York Yankees’ Aaron Judge for the major league lead with 16. It is Schwarber’s second four-game home run streak of his major league career.
Harper hit back-to-back home runs with Schwarber in the first inning off Tomoyuki Sugano (3-3). Brandon Marsh was 4-for-4 with four singles, and his . 353 average leads the major leagues.
Philadelphia had a 9-19 record when Mattingly took over, and the club has since lost six straight series before winning four in a row for the first time since 1984. The Phillies pitched a shutout on Mother’s Day for the second year in a row, defeating Cleveland 3-0 in 2025.
Cristopher Sánchez (4-2) gave up six hits and struck out seven in seven innings, increasing his shutout streak to 20 2/3 innings.
Sugano gave up five runs on seven hits, pitching five innings on 81 pitches.
Philadelphia selected right-hander Jackson Rutledge off waivers from Washington and optioned him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
