Philadelphia Phillies superstar slugger Kyle Schwarber launched two home runs in his first two at-bats during Monday's matchup against the Chicago Cubs.

Schwarber, 33, hit his first of the game on one knee during the first inning against Cubs starting pitcher Javier Assad to put the Phillies up 1-0.

It wouldn't be until his next at bat two innings later, off Assad again, when Schwarber would put his team up 4-0 with a two-run bomb. The two homers marked his fifth and sixth of the season, bringing his RBI total up to 12. 

It's his first multi-home run game of the 2026 season after recording five last year - a season in which he led the National League with 56 home runs and led all of baseball with 132 RBI.

Heading into Monday night's game, the Phillies were 7-8, sitting in third place in the National League East. They're starting a three-game series with the Cubs that'll run through April 15th.
