Phillies' Schwarber and Harper power 15-3 rout of Mets

On June 20, 2026, the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the New York Mets 15–3 at Citizens Bank Park. Designated hitter Kyle Schwarber led the offensive onslaught with three home runs – two in the third inning (456 ft and 457 ft) and a two‑run shot in the seventh – giving him the major‑league lead with 28 homers.

In the same game, right‑fielder Bryce Harper completed his first career cycle, the 11th in Phillies history, doing so in the fifth inning with a solo homer, a double, a single and a two‑run triple.

Starting pitcher Cristopher Sánchez worked six innings, allowing one earned run and posting a 1.80 ERA, extending his streak to 23 consecutive starts with two or fewer earned runs – the second‑longest such run in ball‑park history. Mets starter Freddy Peralta struggled, yielding 10 earned runs on 10 hits in 2 2/3 innings, a career‑worst outing.

The feat marked only the second time in MLB history that teammates recorded a cycle and a three‑home‑run game in the same contest, a rarity last seen in 1932 with the New York Yankees.
