In the fourth inning, Schwarber turned on a 3-2 fastball from reliever Kyle Nelson, smashing a line drive 409 feet into the right field stands. Schwarber's long ball was no. 19 of his career in the postseason, passing Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson for the most by a left-handed hitter in baseball history, per ESPN Stats and Info.

Schwarber is playing in only his second postseason with the Phillies, but he's already approaching a franchise mark. With 10 long balls as a Phillie, Schwarber is only one away from equaling Jayson Werth for the most in team history. He also joined teammate Bryce Harper (10), Chase Utley (10) and Werth (11) as the only Phillies to hit 10 or more homers in the playoffs.
