PHILADELPHIA -- For eight innings, it looked like the Phillies’ winning streak would come to an end on the final day of the homestand.
Then came the ninth, and the Phillies treated the Citizens Bank Park crowd to another magical ending.
Down to their final strike, Edmundo Sosa hit a three-run double to pull the Phillies within a run of the Cardinals, then Kyle Schwarber belted a walk-off two-run homer, capping the six-run comeback against St. Louis closer Riley O’Brien in a thrilling 6-4 victory.
The Phillies have now won nine in a row as they prepare for a three-city West Coast trip.
Schwarber’s walk-off home run was the Phillies’ first walk-off blast since June 9, 2023 (also Schwarber), ending the longest drought in MLB. Every other team had at least two walk-off home runs during that span -- and four teams had at least 10.
The moonshot traveled 459 feet, tied for the fifth-longest walk-off home run tracked by Statcast (since 2015), just behind another Schwarber blast from 2021 that ranks fourth at 463 feet.
