Kyle Schwarber hits two home runs during the Field of Dreams game on Thursday night, leading the Philadelphia Phillies to a 7-1 win over the Minnesota Twins. He homers to start the contest and adds a two-run shot in the fourth inning as the Phillies pull ahead early.
The event is staged in the Iowa cornfield, and both reports describe it as a notable Midwestern moment for Schwarber, who grew up in Middletown, Ohio. After playing college baseball at Indiana, he spent his first six major league seasons with the Chicago Cubs before joining the Phillies.
Both outlets highlight Schwarber’s excitement to watch the movie-like experience with his kids, but they focus on the same on-field outcome: Schwarber’s pair of homers and Philadelphia’s decisive victory over Minnesota.
