NEW YORK — Kyle Schwarber became the first major leaguer to reach 30 homers this season with a two-run shot in the seventh inning that sent the Philadelphia Phillies to a 5-4 win over the New York Mets on Sunday.

The Phillies squandered an early 3-0 lead and fell behind 4-3 before Schwarber hit a 408-foot drive to center field off Kodai Senga (0-7), who was making the first regular-season relief appearance of his big league career.

Schwarber connected in Philadelphia’s 84th game — the fastest anyone has reached 30 homers in franchise history. He has six straight seasons of at least 30 homers, the longest active streak in the majors, and eight overall — most among active players.

Half-Decade of DingersKyle Schwarber is the ninth player in MLB history to hit 30-plus home runs in each of their first 5 seasons with a franchise. He is the third to do so in National League history, joining Albert Pujols and Barry Bonds.
