Kyle Schwarber Becomes Latest Phillies Star To Reach Notable Career Milestone

The Philadelphia Phillies have a huge opportunity in front of them to make a move in the NL East standings with two series against the Colorado Rockies and Athletics that will span seven games.

In the midst of their hot streak, taking advantage of this weak part of their schedule is important.

For a while on Monday, it didn't look like that was going to be the case.

The Phillies trailed the Rockies, 3-1, entering the top of the seventh inning. But after Bryce Harper drove in a run with a sacrifice fly during that frame, the floodgates opened for the remainder of the contest.

With one out in the top of the eighth, Alec Bohm gave Philadelphia a lead for the first time with his two-run homer. That was the precursor of what was to come since Trea Turner doubled home two more runs to give the Phillies a commanding 6-2 lead.

However, it was in the final inning where a historic milestone was made.

Kyle Schwarber, sitting on 299 career homers, blasted one to right field that traveled 466 feet.
