FLUSHING, NY — Whether this era produces a World Series or not, Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber have entrenched themselves not only at the top of the Philadelphia Phillies’ all-time postseason home run leaderboard, but Major League Baseball’s.
Schwarber led off Game 1 of the NLDS — an eventual 6-2 loss to the New York Mets — with a home run, setting a new Phillies’ franchise mark with 12 career postseason home runs in red pinstripes.
Harper’s two-run home run was the turning point in an instant-classic Game 2 win, and pulled him even with Schwarber for the franchise record for playoff home runs.
