Schwarber hit 12 home runs in June, and for his career, he’s hit home runs in June at a higher rate than any player in MLB history.

Schwarber hit two homers in the Philadelphia Phillies‘ 11-0 win over the Washington Nationals on Tuesday, and he followed it up with two homers in the Phillies-Nats game on Wednesday night.
