Schwarbomb! Phillies DH Kyle Schwarber sets record for career postseason homers for a lefty

Not even The Great Bambino or Mr. October could match Kyle Schwarber's power. The Phillies' slugger made history in the fourth inning of Friday's NLCS Game 4 against the Arizona Diamondbacks with his 19th career postseason home run. The 409-foot solo blast off reliever Kyle Nelson into right field at Chase Field in Arizona not only helped the Phillies get on the board, but allowed him to pass former New York Yankees and Oakland A's great Reggie Jackson for the record. The home run cut Arizona's fourth-inning lead to 2-1.
