Kyle Schwarber extends the Phillies' lead to 2-0 with a home run to right-center field in the bottom of the 7th inning

Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber was certainly a difference-maker in the team's latest contest against the Rockies. During the bottom of the seventh inning of the game, the 11-year veteran hit a clutch home run that gave the Phillies a 2-0 lead.

Nola was dealing early Sunday in Washington. Through three innings, he pitched one-hit, no-run ball. Perpetual Phillies killer Josh Bell took him yard for a three-run shot in the fourth though. Things spiraled from there, as Nola later allowed another homer in the sixth, a two-run bop from Nathaniel Lowe, and got the hook.

Not to be upstaged, one at bat later Kyle Schwarber broke open the game with his third homer of the year. He is on a tear to start the season and doesn't look like he needs a torpedo bat (or maybe he'll hit more homers if he uses one?).

Sosa's two-out, two-run double and Schwarber's subsequent two-run homer put the Phillies on the scoreboard in the seventh inning and paved the way to a 6-1 win over Colorado in the home opener at sold-out Citizens Bank Park on Monday.
