DENVER -- Few left-handed hitters in the sport hit majestic home runs like Kyle Schwarber, so it was only appropriate that he launched a milestone homer Monday night that struck the upper-deck facade at Coors Field.

Schwarber's 300th homer traveled 466 feet -- the third-longest homer in Major League Baseball this season. He became the 11th active player to reach 300 homers and the 163rd in MLB history.

Schwarber's solo homer in the ninth helped the Phillies score seven runs over the final two innings in a 9-3 win against the Colorado Rockies.

He did it his way, on the sixth pitch of the at-bat against a lefty reliever (Scott Alexander). Schwarber has crushed lefties this season. He's split his 16 home runs evenly between lefty and righty pitchers. He is tied with Shohei Ohtani for the major-league lead in homers.

Schwarber joined the Phillies before the 2022 season with 153 career homers in seven years with the Chicago Cubs, Washington Nationals and Boston Red Sox. He now has 147 homers in three years and a little more than a month as a Phillie.

Schwarber has more home runs against lefties than any other team's collection of left-handed hitters except the New York Yankees'. If he maintains his current 1.158 OPS against lefties, it would be the highest by a left-handed hitter since Barry Bonds (1.300 OPS) in 2003.
