Kyle Schwarber made history by hitting his 14th leadoff homer of the season for the Philadelphia Phillies before exiting the game due to injury. Pinch-hitter Cal Stevenson came through with a crucial two-run double in the eighth inning, helping the Phillies secure a 9-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night.
Schwarber's record-breaking leadoff homer came on the second pitch he saw, surpassing Alfonso Soriano's previous mark of 13 leadoff homers in a season. Unfortunately, Schwarber had to leave the game in the fourth inning due to a hyperextended left elbow sustained while diving back into first base.
