The Philadelphia Phillies didn’t just win on Wednesday night—they rewrote history. In an 11-1 blowout victory over the Miami Marlins at Citizens Bank Park, the Phillies became the first team in MLB history to hit eight home runs in a game and have their starting pitcher record at least 10 strikeouts with no walks.

Utility-man Edmundo Sosa led the charge with three home runs, just days after returning from the injured list. His performance marked the first three-homer game of his career and the first ever by a shortstop in franchise history. Kyle Schwarber added two long balls of his own—including his MLB-record 23rd home run against a left-handed pitcher this season.
