Schwarber hit his 42nd home run of the season in an away game against the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park on the 12th (Korea time).
Schwarber, who played as the second designated hitter, hit a two-run shot to seal the victory in the top of the eighth inning. Philadelphia tied the score at 1-1, with Weston Wilson hitting a line-drive double that fell onto the left-field line following Edmundo Sosa's right-handed hit with two outs in the eighth inning, trailing 0-1.
Philadelphia, where Trey Turner hit a left-handed hit to bring Wilson in and turn the tide to 2-1, widened the score gap to 4-1 with Schwaber hitting a superior two-run home run with two outs and third base.
Schwarber pulled a 94.3 mile high fastball from the changed pitcher Tony Santiyan and connected it to an arch that went well over the inside of the right foul pole. He hit his 42nd home run of the season with a 39-degree launch angle, 112.2 miles batting speed and 404 feet of flying distance.
It is the first time in three days that Schwarber hit a home run since his solo shot in the first inning against the Texas Rangers on the 9th. Schwaber, who hit 12 home runs in the second half of the year, beat Shohei Ohtani (41) of the Los Angeles Dodgers to become the lone No. 1 player in the NL home run category.
Schwarber, who had one hit, two RBIs and one run in four times at bat, marked a batting average of 0.252 (110 hits in 437 times at bat), 42 homers, 97 RBIs, 81 runs and an OPS of 0.960. He is No. 1 in home runs and RBIs in the NL. The gap with Seattle Mariners Cal Raleigh (45), who ranks first in homers in both leagues, is three.
Philadelphia won 4-1 and won 4 consecutive games to keep its lead in the NL East with 69 wins and 49 losses.
