There were several crazy stats involving Philadelphia Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber and the Boston Red Sox this week.
In their three-game series at Fenway Park against the Phillies, the Red Sox hit just two home runs as a team, both on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Schwarber socked two home runs by himself, powering Philadelphia to wins on Tuesday and Thursday with his pair of go-ahead blasts.
Schwarber, who leads MLB in home runs this season after pacing the National League last year, has 18 big flies in 2026, including seven in his last seven games. Surprisingly, that's the same number of wins as the last-place Red Sox, who are 18-25 after dropping two of three to the Phillies.

Boston had a chance to sign Schwarber after 2021 and again last offseason, but missed out on him both times. According to Schwarber, the Red Sox didn't even make him an offer last winter, as their discussions didn't advance past an exploratory phone call.
That was a missed opportunity for Boston, which could use an elite slugger like Schwarber in the middle of its lineup. The Red Sox's offense has been one of the worst in baseball this year, ranking 28th in scoring, 28th in home runs and 27th in OPS.
Schwarber has more home runs than all of Boston's left-handed hitters combined and is on pace for 66 this season. Meanwhile, the Red Sox are on pace for 68 wins.
