Kyle Schwarber wasn’t thinking of hitting a home run in that situation. All the Washington Nationals left fielder wanted to do with two runners on and one out in the second inning Sunday was put the ball in play to score a run, so his eyes lit up when the high fastball came his way.
Midway through his swing, though, he realized how high that high fastball really was.
“It’s one of those things when you fire at it, you’re like, ‘Oh no,’” Schwarber said.
