NEW YORK — After Kyle Schwarber delivered a fastball 408 feet to right-center on Sunday, he thought back to the first time he hit 30 home runs.It took him 128 games as a 24-year-old in 2017. Nine years later, at 33, it took him 80 games — even better than last year, when he hit his 30th in Game 94 of the Phillies’ season. It is remarkable.“I don’t know if I’ve seen anybody quite like him,” said interim manager Don Mattingly, who has been around the game for 37 years. “He’s a little different than the guys I played with. It’s a different time. … But he’s amazing in what he does.”In his 12th season, Schwarber has posted perhaps the best first half of his career, becoming the fastest to 30 home runs in franchise history with Sunday’s seventh-inning homer against the New York Mets. Five of Schwarber’s home runs have come in his past seven games; it is June, after all. And Sunday’s go-ahead blast sent the Phillies home series winners, taking the final game versus the Mets 5-4 to finish off a 5-2 trip.The Mets' troubles don't solely belong to former manager Carlos MendozaSchwarber leads the majors in homers and is on pace to hit 58 this season, which would tie Ryan Howard’s franchise record set in 2008.He has often spoken of records, milestones and success as things he will reflect on when he retires. He did not dwell too long on 30 during or after the game.“I don’t care about records any time that we come here,” Schwarber said. “It’s always some really high stress games and quality games on both sides of the field. And to get that momentum back on our side was a good feeling.”So much feels possible when Schwarber is performing this way. When Jesús Luzardo and the bullpen gave up a three-run lead on Sunday, he was there. During the third of three absurd ninth innings in Washington, D.C., he was there.The contributions from everyone else are more than welcome, of course. But good things tend to happen for the Phillies when Schwarber shines — and the second half isn’t even here yet.Defensive woesGabriel Rincones Jr.’s woes in right field are part of a bigger defensive issue overall for the Phillies.

Still, what he has shown in right field has not been ideal — particularly on Saturday.His read on Bo Bichette’s liner, which was hit just 65.7 mph to right, may have cost the Phillies an out in the sixth. His jump on Juan Soto’s run-scoring triple in the seventh was not as sharp as it could’ve been. The Mets scored six runs across those innings — not solely Rincones’ fault, but defense played a role.
