Kyle Schwarber

A double and a base hit brought a run in to score on McCaughan in the first inning. A sacrifice fly by Kyle Schwarber scored a second run in the second inning. Two more hits brought a run in to score in the fifth, and McCaughan's day would be done with two outs in the frame, falling one out short of qualifying for the win. The 28-year-old right-hander will take a 7.40 ERA, 1.85 WHIP, and a 14/10 K/BB ratio across 24 1/3 innings into a start against the Nationals in Washington on Thursday.

Kyle Schwarber's third homer of Tuesday night's game was a go-ahead, three-run drive in the ninth inning as the Phillies rallied past the Blue Jays 10-9.

Francis, the AL Pitcher of the Month for August, gave up a homer to the very first batter he faced, Kyle Schwarber, in September. He later allowed a two-run homer to Kody Clemens in the second. He bounced back nicely afterwards, though, and wound up with six strikeouts and no walks. He'll face the Mets next.

The leadoff homer was Schwarber's 13th, tying Alfonso Soriano's major league record from 2003. He still has five fewer first-inning homers than Aaron Judge on the year, though. Judge, incidentally, has also tied a major league record there (Alex Rodriguez had 18 first-inning homers in 2001). Schwarber had 14 homers in the first inning last year, but only 11 of them came as a leadoff man.
