What happened: Kyle Schwarber capped a three-home-run night at Citizens Bank Park, connecting for his third long ball of the game. One of the blasts traveled a reported 457 feet, and two of the homers came in the same inning. The outburst pushed his season total to a league-leading 27 home runs.

Why it matters: The performance underscores why Schwarber's red-hot bat is drawing an All-Star push, as multi-homer games keep stacking up. Leading the league in home runs at this stage of the season puts him firmly in the middle of the power conversation and gives a major lift to a lineup leaning on his production.

What to watch: Watch whether Schwarber can sustain the power surge and how it factors into his All-Star vote total as balloting continues.
