Dud: Kyle Schwarber

Kyle Schwarber's quiet postseason unfortunately continued Thursday night. Philadelphia's DH logged a disappointing 0-for-4 performance in Game 4 while striking out twice.

This capped an absolutely miserable series for the power threat. He notched just two hits and zero runs scored or RBI over four games versus the Braves, with a double the only notable contribution he made at all.

Schwarber's struggles are a bit concerning as the Phillies head into their toughest test yet. He had almost nothing going against the Miami Marlins in the Wild Card as well, again registering just two hits, though he at least had a run scored and an RBI.

Thomson will need his leadoff man to start showing up or it'll cost the top of his lineup against a strong Arizona Diamondbacks staff. One big home run could be all it takes to get the two-time All-Star rolling again, though.
