The Philadelphia Phillies, powered by slugger Kyle Schwarber, head to Globe Life Field on Saturday to square off against Marcus Semien and the Texas Rangers in the second game of their weekend set.
Texas enters the contest at 60-57 after a rough start to the series, falling 9-1 in Friday night’s opener. The Rangers briefly drew level in the first inning, but their bats fell silent for the remaining eight frames.
Philadelphia, now 66-49 on the season, rolled to an emphatic victory in the series opener, breaking things open in the fourth inning and tacking on more insurance in the ninth for an easy win. Schwarber continues to be the muscle in the Phillies’ lineup, pacing the club with 41 homers and 95 RBIs, numbers that put him second in the majors in home runs and first in runs driven in.
