Schwarber’s 2-run HR with 2 out in 9th rallies Phillies for a 6-4 win over the Cardinals

Kyle Schwarber hit a walk-off two-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning to rally the Philadelphia Phillies to a 6-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. Schwarber's 39th homer of the season marked the MLB-leading total and secured the win for the Phillies. The Cardinals had a 4-0 lead after six innings, but Bryce Harper's double and the subsequent RBI runs loaded the bases, setting up Edmundo Sosa's double to cut the deficit to 4-3.

Bryan De La Cruz's RBI single tied the game at 4-4. Phillies reliever Alex McFarlane (3-1) pitched the ninth inning and earned the victory. The Phillies' win extended their winning streak to nine games and marked their third consecutive series sweep.
