PHILADELPHIA -- Kyle Schwarber picked the perfect time -- and way -- to end his recent drought: a game-tying 455-foot Schwarbomb in a must-win Game 3 of the National League Division Series.
With the Phillies trailing by one entering the fourth inning on Wednesday night, Schwarber smashed a no-doubter off Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto that cleared the right-field seats at Dodger Stadium. It marked Schwarber's 22nd career postseason home run, tying him with Yankees legend Bernie Williams for the third most in MLB history. Only Manny Ramirez (29) and Jose Altuve (27) have hit more.
Schwarber's solo shot came off his bat at 117.4 mph, per Statcast, making it the second-hardest-hit home run of his career, including the regular season. It trails only the 119.7 mph homer he hit off Yu Da
