Mandatory Credit: Kyle Ross-Imagn Images Kyle Schwarber had three home runs, including two in one inning, for the Philadelphia Phillies in a 15-3 rout of the visiting New York Mets on Saturday.
Bryce Harper hit for the cycle while going 4-for-5 for the Phillies, who had lost two in a row. Starting pitcher Cristopher Sanchez (9-3) held New York to one run on five hits in six innings.
Schwarber homered twice in a third inning which saw Philadelphia bring 12 batters to the plate and score eight runs, chasing Mets starter Freddy Peralta (5-6), who allowed 10 runs on 10 hits over 2 2/3 innings. With his final homer in the seventh inning, Schwarber is up to 28 homers, four more than anyone else in the majors this season.
Mark Vientos and Carson Benge accounted for New York’s offense with a homer apiece, but the team still saw its two-game win streak snapped.
Dillon Dingler had two hits, including his team-high 17th homer, and drove in two runs as host Detroit downed Chicago to clinch a series victory.
James Outman and Jake Rogers drove in the Tigers’ other runs in support of Troy Melton (4-0), who allowed a leadoff homer before surrendering no more hits or runs over six innings of work. Kenley Jansen secured his second save in as many days and his ninth of the season.
Sam Antonacci reached base four times, including the White Sox’s only RBI on the leadoff homer. Opener Sean Newcomb retired all nine batters he faced before Joe Rock (0-1) gave up the lead in Detroit’s two-run sixth inning.

Paul Goldschmidt gave the Yankees an early lead with his first-inning solo homer. But New York finished 0-for-13 with runners in scoring position, taking its most lopsided loss of the season after Will Warren (7-2) allowed six runs (two earned) on eight hits over 5 2/3 innings.
Ozzie Albies hit a pair of home runs, including a game-ending two-run shot in the ninth inning, as Atlanta earned a victory over visiting Milwaukee.
