Loved this delightful story from @mjshrimper, one of our British correspondents, who came to a Phillies game and asked people about Philadelphia and soccer: https://t.co/epazYaguee
Summer arrived Sunday night when Kyle Schwarber unleashed another mighty swing. Eventually, the annual party at Citizens Bank Park will be gone. But it’s probably best to savor it now: https://t.co/AdgeHUgl8Z
Phillies have DFAd Bryse Wilson and optioned Max Lazar to Triple A. Kyle Backhus will be active tomorrow. Phillies haven’t announced yet, but Alan Rangel looks like a good bet for some innings.
It's a party at Citizens Bank Park as Kyle Schwarber hits his 29th homer. Bryce Harper didn't use the 35-ounce bat in his first AB and struck out, then doubled with the heavy one in his second AB.
Bryce Harper swung a practice bat 3.5 ounces heavier than normal. It was probably heavier than 35 ounces because it’s so old. It was insane, almost as insane as his running.
“That’s a Bryce Harper cycle,” a teammate said.

The @Phillies are the second team in MLB history to have a player hit for the cycle (Bryce Harper) and a player hit 3 homers (Kyle Schwarber) in the same game.
The other was the Yankees on June 3, 1932 (Tony Lazzeri cycle, Lou Gehrig 4 homers).
Bryce Harper went from the batter's box to third base in 11.8 seconds. He really wanted a cycle and he got it in five innings, one of the quickest in 144 years of Phillies baseball: https://t.co/te7ssnTruy
