Kyle Schwarber’s homer and a fan’s viral fall steal the spotlight as the Philadelphia Phillies crush the San Francisco Giants 13-0 Wednesday.
Giants catcher Patrick Bailey was the hero as his hard hit to right field bounced off the brick wall and shot past Phillies center fielder Brad Marsh. He was able to eventually chase it down and fire the ball back to the infield but they never had a chance of stopping Bailey.
During the offseason, Kepler signed a one-year, $10 million contract with the Phillies to become their everyday left fielder after ten seasons as a Minnesota Twin. Philadelphia viewed him as a veteran presence who could stabilize its outfield mix and add pop to the lineup.
BOTTOM LINE: The San Francisco Giants and the Philadelphia Phillies play the last game of a three-game series. The Giants can sweep the series with a victory. San Francisco has a 27-17 record in home games and a 51-42 record overall. Giants pitchers have a collective 3.43 ERA, which leads the NL.
