Kyle Schwarber had a rough day for the Philadelphia Phillies. Schwarber, a custom-made designated hitter forced to play left field due to the Phillies' plague of injuries this season, muffed a running attempt at a catch that directly led to an Atlanta Braves extra-inning win on Thursday.Talkin’ Baseball@TalkinBaseball_Kyle Schwarber botches it with two outs and the Braves score two 109870Kyle Schwarber botches it with two outs and the Braves score two 😳 https://t.co/PnjXLiVFCvThe Philadelphia Phillies were trailing the Braves 1-0 in the 10th inning at Citizens Bank Park with two Atlanta runners on, two outs and slugger Austin Riley at the plate.Phillies reliever Yunior Marte coaxed Riley into looping a dying quail into left field as Kyle Schwarber charged forward to catch it. The nine-year MLB veteran got to the ball, but suddenly forgot how to close his glove properly and dropped the potential inning-ending out.Instead of three outs, the Braves logged two runs to take a 3-0 lead. Controversially, the hit was ruled a single for Riley, though it should have been easily scored an error.bruh@allgasnoreggie_@TalkinBaseball_ its actually insane how bad he is at fielding7@TalkinBaseball_ its actually insane how bad he is at fieldingIn The Alley Baseball Podcast@ITABaseballPodAnd some “fans” want him to stay in LF all season . #Phillies #RingTheBell twitter.com/talkinbaseball…Talkin’ Baseball@TalkinBaseball_Kyle Schwarber botches it with two outs and the Braves score two 971Kyle Schwarber botches it with two outs and the Braves score two 😳 https://t.co/PnjXLiVFCvAnd some “fans” want him to stay in LF all season 😂😂. #Phillies #RingTheBell twitter.com/talkinbaseball…Josh Crosby@JoshCrosby@TalkinBaseball_ Team full of DHs gets you this kind of defense6@TalkinBaseball_ Team full of DHs gets you this kind of defenseThe Braves remained alive, and extended the lead further as the next Atlanta batter, designated hitter Marcell Ozuna, clubbed a two-run home run to put the visitors up 5-0.The Philadelphia Phillies mustered up a lone tally in the bottom of the 10th as Alec Bohm drove home J.T.

After a sparkling 2022 in which he hit an NL-leading 46 homers (with an MLB-leading 200 strikeouts), his 2023 is becoming even more all-or nothing.In his second campaign with the Philadelphia Phillies, Schwarber is on pace to come close to his homer mark of a year ago as he has 20 round-trippers, but his batting average is .191.Tucker Seal@Tseal14@TalkinBaseball_ Awful defense, slow and batting below .200@TalkinBaseball_ Awful defense, slow and batting below .200Matt Britt@matt_britt5Batting .190 and has brick feet out in left.

He hit .188 in 2020, but that season was abbreviated to 60 games due to COVID-19.Scott Strasemeier@ScottStrasMLB official scoring has been so terrible this year.

Harper is serving as the DH as he continues to recover from Tommy John surgery.
