Did Kyle Schwarber get screwed? Watch foul ball from every angle (Video)

Philadelphia Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber came oh so close to a home run on two straight pitches against the Houston Astros.

Kyle Schwarber had Astros fans shaking in their boots in the eighth inning of Game 2.

Schwarber, who’s already had several memorable at-bats in the 2022 postseason, nearly registered another with Houston reliever Rafael Montero on the bump on Saturday night.

The former Cubs 2016 World Series champion hit a deep fly ball that was just barely on the wrong side of the foul pole. Had Schwarber’s fly ball been fair, it would have cut the Astros advantage to 5-3 just one night after the Phillies overcame a separate five-run deficit.

Another angle shows that the ball went just to the right of the foul pole.

Don’t worry, Philadelphia — they got the call right. Trust me, I’d tell you if that weren’t the case.

Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber just barely missed a home run

Kyle Schwarber just missed a home run on the very next pitch, as well, as he hit a deep fly ball to right field that was eventually caught by Kyle Tucker.

Sometimes, it’s just not your night.

For the Phils, winning one game in Houston for a series split is an impressive enough feat. It allows them to return to Citizens Bank Park for what would amount to a homestand in hopes of securing a decisive advantage before they have to come back to Houston.

As fun as it would have been for baseball fans to see Houston pushed to the brink once again, Philadelphia accomplished their first goal — switch up the homefield advantage.

The first of three games in Philadelphia start on Monday. Rob Thomson has yet to announce the starters for Game 3 or Game 4, as Aaron Nola and Zack Wheeler have already thrown this series.
