In a performance that would make baseball legends take notice, Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber etched his name alongside Yankees icon Lou Gehrig on Thursday, delivering a historic five-hit day against the San Francisco Giants that helped secure the team's first series sweep of the season.

The Phillies, who had been searching for momentum since early April, finally found their stride in a day/night doubleheader against the Giants. Leading the charge was Schwarber, whose blockbuster five-year, $150 million contract signed this past offseason raised expectations—and on Thursday, he showed exactly why he was worth every penny.

Schwarber's stat line from the twin bill reads like a video game on rookie mode: five hits, two home runs, two doubles, three walks, and—perhaps most impressively—zero strikeouts. According to OptaSTATS, he became the first MLB player since Yankees Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig to record five or more hits, three or more walks, two or more doubles, two or more home runs, and no strikeouts in a single day. Gehrig achieved this feat on August 26, 1935, against the Chicago White Sox, going six-for-nine with two doubles, two homers, and three walks.

Coming into Thursday, Schwarber was hovering near the dreaded Mendoza Line (.200), but his perfect four-for-four performance in Game 2 of the doubleheader has lifted his batting average to .225. His 11 home runs now place him fourth in Major League Baseball, trailing only three other left-handed sluggers: Houston's Yordan Alvarez (12), Chicago's Munetaka Murakami (12), and New York's Aaron Judge (12).

For a Phillies team that has struggled to find consistency, Schwarber's resurgence couldn't come at a better time. If this three-time All-Star is indeed turning a corner, the rest of the National League should take notice—because when Schwarber gets hot, pitchers tend to get cold.
