Philadelphia Phillies star Kyle Schwarber crushed a home run from one knee.
The 33-year-old slugger went deep twice in his first two at-bats during Monday’s game against the Chicago Cubs.

It wasn’t until his next at-bat two innings later, again facing Assad, that Schwarber extended the Phillies’ lead to 4-0 with a two-run blast. Those two homers were his fifth and sixth of the season, pushing his RBI total to 12.
It was his first multi-home run game of the 2026 season after posting five last year — a campaign where he led the National League with 56 home runs and paced all of MLB with 132 RBI.
Entering Monday night’s game, the Phillies were 7-8 and sat third in the National League East. They’re opening a three-game set with the Cubs that runs through April 15.
